Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A man believed to be 23 years old from Mawane village in the Garanyemba area of Gwanda ran amok and destroyed property belonging to his neighbour.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Jasper Sibanda, accused his elderly neighbour identified as Gogo MaNdlovu of spreading lies about him. He destroyed her three houses.<\/p>\n

Ward 13 Mawane councillor Mitlas Ndlovu confirmed the incident to Southern Eye saying Sibanda is currently on the run. Said Ndlovu:<\/p>\n

The incident happened last week on Friday around 11 pm, he wanted to kill Gogo MaNdlovu\u2019s two nieces accusing them of gossiping about him.<\/p>\n

When they (nieces) heard him threatening to kill them they ran away from home together with their granny and hid in the bush.<\/p>\n

That is when Sibanda started destroying the homestead until 4 AM.<\/p>\n

There is a big challenge here in Garanyemba of youths engaging in a lot of drug abuse. We need a police station here to curb all these activities.<\/p>\n

Another elderly woman from Mawane 2 was also raped last week by another youth. I do not know why these youths are targeting old women.<\/p>\n

Ndlovu said the matter was reported to the police.<\/p>\n

According to the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA), Zimbabwe\u2019s illicit substance use problem increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Commonly used substances in Zimbabwe include glue, bronclee, mangemba, cane sprit, marijuana, codeine and methamphetamine (crystal meth).<\/p>\n

Very high unemployment rates in Zimbabwe, coupled with poverty and despair, have resulted in increasing numbers of youthful citizens also turning to use drugs as a way of entertainment.<\/p>\n
