ORGANIKKS Restaurant says it has a very strict zero-tolerance policy on drugs and substance abuse.
This follows the recent arrest of a suspected drug dealer, Monalisa Shamiso Mwadzira, at its Chisipite restaurant.
Mwadzira is facing charges of unlawful possession of dangerous drugs. Yesterday, in a statement, the top restaurant said:
“This unfortunate incident is deeply concerning and we are fully committed to ensuring our venues remain safe spaces for all patrons.
“We thank this loyal client for their quick action, which highlights the importance of community vigilance in combating drug abuse.
“We also commend the Zimbabwe Republic Police for their swift intervention and professional handling of this case.
“At Organikks, we believe every business, organisation, and individual has a duty to confront the devastating impact drugs are having on our nation.
“This crisis is eroding the fabric of our communities, harming our youth, and affecting individuals across all demographics.
“We urge government bodies and community members alike to join us in addressing this drug pandemic with the urgency it demands.”
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals, Organikks is prepared to offer counselling, mentorship, and referrals to support networks, including local churches, mosques, temples and synagogues.
The restaurant remains ready to collaborate with any organisation dedicated to combating the rising tide of drug abuse in Zimbabwe.
The incident occurred on Saturday at around 8:30 pm when detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics in Harare received information indicating that the accused possessed dangerous drugs at Organikks Restaurant.
Detectives promptly arrived at the scene, where they observed the suspect holding a white handbag and seated alone.
Upon identifying themselves and conducting a search, detectives recovered two small blue pills suspected to be ecstasy tablets, two transparent sachets of loose dagga, and noted evidence of cocaine ingestion.
