Energy Chivasa
(29) who is stationed at Zvishavane Prisons was convicted on his own plea by
Western Commonage magistrate, Mr Archie Wochiwunga.
He was
sentenced to three months imprisonment, which was wholly suspended on condition
he pays a fine of US$250 or equivalent in ZWG, by April 30.
Chivasa told
the court that he bought the drugs
intending to start a business for his wife.
Prosecuting, Ms
Audrey Kufandikamwe, told the court that Chivasa was arrested on April 1 during
an impromptu search at the exit gate of Khami Maximum Prison Complex.
“On the 1st of
April 2025 and at around 1pm, members of the ZPCS police were on duty when they
searched the accused and recovered unregistered medicine. The accused was
handed over to the CID drug section,” said Ms Kufandikamwe.
She said the
recovered drugs include unregistered tablets such as ibuprofen, amoxicillin,
syringes and needles and sex enhancing pills. Chronicle
