Judith Gora (31), who was selling the illicit liquor at
Dave bottle store in Madziwa, has since been arrested.
Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Assistant Inspector
Naison Dhliwayo said on September 8, police officers were deployed to look out
for shebeen and beer outlets selling illicit beer.
“One of the officers in civilian clothes posed as a
potential patron and approached Gora who was selling the illicit beer at
wholesale price,” he said.
“The police officer bought the liquor, went outside and
alerted his colleagues.”
Gora was arrested for contravening section 3 (1) of the
Harmful Liquids Act and nine packets containing 42 sachets of the liquor were
recovered.
Asst Insp Dhliwayo thanked members of the public for
providing the police with information on shebeens.
“We are appealing for more information so that we can
totally eradicate the illicit liquor menace,” he said. Herald
