news24.com
Thursday 11 May 2006 Harare - Twenty-one people appeared in court in southern Zimbabwe on Thursday, after the discovery of a flourishing marijuana plantation. According to the Zimbabwean state-controlled Herald newspaper, the 21 are part of a group of 29 arrested and charged under the country's Dangerous Drugs Act. The marijuana farm was found after Zimbabwean police arrested a man smoking the drug - known locally as "mbanje" - and he led them to his source, reported the Herald. The newspaper report read: "The detectives discovered almost 40 fields with an average of 1 500 plants." The haul is reported to have a street value of 15 billion Zimbabwe dollars (about R960 000). Several of those arrested were in their sixties. http://www.news24.com/News24/Africa/News/0,,2-11-1447_1931262,00.html
