The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of a 38‑year‑old man in connection with the unlawful possession of unregistered medicines in Gutu.
In a statement, police said Junior Kadira was apprehended on 6 April 2025 at Chatsworth Turnoff in Gutu, Masvingo Province, after receiving a parcel from a foreign‑registered cross‑border commuter omnibus.
Authorities revealed that the parcel contained 800 bottles of 100ml Broncleer cough syrup, a tightly regulated medicine due to its potential for abuse.
Kadira has since been taken into custody, and investigations are underway to determine the origin of the consignment and whether other individuals are involved.
The ZRP has reiterated its warning to the public against engaging in the illegal distribution or possession of unregistered or controlled medicines, stressing that such activities pose serious health risks and violate Zimbabwe's pharmaceutical regulations.
