Zimbabwe Activates Elite Anti-Drug Unit After Previous Officers ‘Compromised’: Media A specialized anti-drug unit, composed of police and military officers, has been activated after some members of previous anti-drug structures were allegedly working with cartels, local media reported.The new crack unit, operating under tight secrecy, has already carried out numerous raids in major cities and entry points, according to the reports. Several suspects have been arrested, and 44 drug‑related arrests have been made so far, with 14 convictions.Authorities say the unit is targeting kingpins, financiers, and corrupt facilitators—not just street dealers.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa
