Another video of minors taking alcohol goes viral

The Herald- HOURS after the Government issued a stern warning to drug dealers and bootleggers to desist from supplying minors with intoxicating substances or risk severe punishment, yet another video of minor children drinking alcohol, this time involving girls, has gone viral on social media.

Through their X handle, police yesterday said the incident was filmed at Juru Growth Point in Murehwa recently and involved six girls and a boy.

The identities of the seven children and their parents had already been ascertained and they were now receiving counselling from the police’s Victim Friendly Unit (VFU), in conjunction with the relevant Government departments.

This comes a week after another video of young boys drinking alcohol in central Harare was filmed by a concerned citizen before it went viral on social media.
