flag Zimbabwe launches specialized drug courts to ensure swift justice and rehabilitation, targeting traffickers and users with a balanced approach.

flag Zimbabwe has launched specialised Drug and Substance Abuse Courts to address a growing national crisis, following public outcry over lenient sentences for drug offenders, including foreign nationals. flag Trained magistrates and prosecutors now handle drug cases with consistency, focusing on swift justice, rehabilitation, and prevention. flag The initiative supports a broader national strategy to combat drug use linked to crime, mental health issues, and social instability, targeting substances like crystal meth and codeine syrups. flag Officials emphasize a balanced approach: strict penalties for traffickers and suppliers, while prioritising rehabilitation for users, especially youth. flag The courts are part of a coordinated effort to strengthen enforcement, standardise sentencing, and improve public trust in the justice system.
