Despite The ZPR’s efforts to actively crack down on unregulated alcohol sales and public drinking, particularly mobile bottle stores, to curb illegal activities and ensure public safety. The number of brothels is increasing rapidly in zimbabwe thus leading to high crime rates specifically domestic violence and robberies
