Popular suspected Mbare drug dealer, Simbarashe Chanachimwe, alias Dhama, who was allegedly found in possession of 26 sachets of dagga, appeared in court yesterday.
Chanachimwe (31), was asked not to plead when he appeared
before Mbare magistrate Mr Rangarirayi Gakanje charged with unlawful possession
of dangerous drugs.
He was granted $50 000 bail on condition that he continued
to reside at his house 9885 Manyame Park, Chitungwiza, until finalisation of
the matter.
Chanachimwe was ordered not to interfere with State
witnesses and to report once every Friday between 6am and 6pm at St Mary’s
police station.
The matter was remanded to March 20 for a possible trial.
The complainant in the matter is the State represented by

as PaDhama.
The State further alleged that a search was conducted at
the swampy area and Detective Sergeant Chiwawa found a bucket hidden in the
swam with 27 sachets of loose dagga.
Subsequently, a
dagga plant approximately 1,7 meters was also discovered by Detective Constable

The police recovered the dagga which was taken to ZRP
