By A Correspondent- Vice President Kembo Mohadi has warned drug dealers and organisers of vuzu parties, saying those engaging in these and other illegal activities will face the full wrath of the law.

Speaking in Bulawayo Friday at the ground breaking ceremony of a drug rehabilitation centre and Registrar General’s offices, he said:

“This task of rebuilding our nation can’t be achieved by people who are drug addicts or people whose mental capacity has been diminished by engaging in excessive behaviours at these Vuzu parties fuelled by drug abuse.

Abuse of drugs and vuzu parties must stop forthwith. Anybody found engaging in or organising these parties or any illegal activities shall face the full wrath of the law. This is in the interests of our future leaders of tomorrow.”

He commended the Ministry of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage through the Zimbabwe Republic Police for the recent operation in Bulawayo which resulted in the arrest of three drug dealers and the confiscation of drugs worth $10 000.

VP Mohadi said the nation requires a population of able-bodied, skillful and mentally astute young people to take on the responsibility of pushing the economy forward.

“However, it’s sad to note that our young people’s future is decimated by social ills such as drug addiction at this crucial time of rebuilding our nation.

“It’s therefore appropriate that today we engage in this ground breaking ceremony not only for the RG’s office but also for the drug and rehabilitation centre,” he said.-StateMedia
