As reported in the Zimbabwe Chronicle

THE Government remains deeply concerned about the escalating problem of drug and substance abuse, particularly among young people. This scourge poses a significant threat to the nation’s public health, security, economic stability, and social fabric. To address this issue, authorities are accelerating the establishment of a dedicated Drug and Substance Abuse Agency.

The Drug and Substance Abuse Agency will be established after the enactment of the necessary legislation to combat drug and substance abuse, Minister of Finance and Economic Development Professor Mthuli Ncube said in his 2025 National Budget presentation last week.

“The 2025 National Budget will sustain efforts to combat this (drug and substance abuse) menace, including conducting awareness campaigns, equipping drug and substance abuse rehabilitation centres, as well as capacitation of the law enforcement agencies to undertake surveillance and policing of drug dealers.

“Government will also expedite the enactment of the necessary legislation to combat drug and substance abuse, which will be implemented through a Drug and Substance Abuse Agency,” said Minister Ncube

The proposed agency, which will have legal backing, is part of the Zimbabwe multi-sectoral drug and substance abuse plan for 2024-2030 approved by Cabinet in the first half of the year.

The plan outlines a comprehensive strategic approach to address the escalating threat of drug and substance abuse to public health, economic growth, national security and social stability in the country.

Government has made it clear that suppliers of drugs have to be taken to court and cannot be allowed to pay spot fines and released. Courts can impose higher fines and jail terms. With jail terms common for suppliers, a court conviction generates a permanent criminal record.

The Drug and Substance Abuse Agency will be responsible for the enforcement of laws that deal with drug and substance trafficking, use and abuse. It will also coordinate efforts of other support services.

Cases of drug traffickers being arrested with huge quantities of contraband are on the rise. A few years ago a woman from Venezuela was nabbed at the Harare International Airport carrying 5kg cocaine worth US$469 000 in her luggage from Brazil into Harare.
