In a series of swift operations, the Zimbabwe Republic Police have made several high-profile arrests, targeting the illicit trade of unregistered medicines and narcotics. On June 4, detectives from the CID Drugs and Narcotics unit apprehended Takawira Makazhu (43) and Tafadzwa Trymore Karuni (23) in Harare CBD for unlawfully possessing and marketing unregistered medicines, including misoprostol, ibuprofen, and erythromycin tablets, on social media.

The following day, Patience Kambarami (46) was arrested in Masvingo for possession of contraband, specifically Broncleer Cough Syrup and Astra Pain Cough Syrup, which she had received from a cross-border bus.

In a separate incident, truck driver Tafadzwa Muneri (43) and passenger Teererai Chokoto (34) were arrested at the Green Route Freight Terminal on June 9 for unlawful possession of dagga, which was stashed behind the passenger seat.

In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, police in Chinhoyi arrested Lloyd Gwenhere (32) in connection with a gruesome murder that has left the community reeling. The victim, 9-year-old Munyaradzi Shumba, was found dead with severe injuries, including a ripped stomach, a cut neck and left hand, and missing private parts. The suspect was allegedly seen assaulting the victim for allowing cattle to stray onto his field.

As the police continue their investigations, the nation holds its breath, demanding justice for the young victim and his family. The brutality of the crime has sparked widespread outrage, and many are left questioning how such a heinous act could occur. Will justice be served, or will this case fade into the depths of Zimbabwe’s troubled past?
