A-27-year-old Chimanimani man left the gallery at the
Mutare Magistrates’ Court in stitches after he told magistrate Nyasha Kuture on
Saturday that he cultivated dagga after a friend told him that the drug had
been legalised.
Farai Musiyazviriyo (27) from Maonzani village under Chief
Mutambara pleaded guilty to the charge and was remanded in custody to tomorrow
for sentencing.
“My Lord, I was cultivating dagga because there was a
friend who told me that it has been legalised,” he told the court.
The court heard that on April 5, 2019, police detectives in
Chimanimani got a tip-off that Musiyazviriyo was cultivating dagga at his
family home.
Police raided his bedroom and recovered a packet of
processed dagga and later recovered 19 plants of dagga, measuring one
metre-long. Newsday
