*Selling Illegal Drugs Should Be Equated To Attempted Murder - Mliswa* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ah Former Norton MP, Temba Mliswa has expressed anguish over the arrest of his 20-year-old daughter, m’Diwa Mliswa Chanetsa last week for possession of illegal drugs. m’Diwa and her alleged accomplice, 27-year-old Tawanda Chigudu were nabbed in Avonlea, Harare, on 22 February 2024 after they were found in possession of methylenedioxymethamphetamine weighing approximately 1.30 grammes with a street value of ZWL$195 000. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- Posting on social media site X, Mliswa urged parents to stand strong with their children and not abandon them in anger. He wrote: > One of my daughters, the 3rd born who stays with her mother, was arrested over a drug charge. I have made the tough decision to lay it out here for posterity, clarity and factuality to prevail before the issue is bastardized in the social fora. > She is a brilliant kid who has done well at school but in the past has refused to abide by the roadmap I apply to my other kids. > At 18 I sat her down on her plans but she refused it, even to stay with me. This isn’t to blame her mother but to reveal how she is as a child. > Being an advocate against drug abuse and a parent again it could be a frustrating time. However, I reiterate my position that drugs are bad and we have to fight them. > If it requires arresting culprits then so be it as it may be one way to save them from themselves. > The penalties for those who sell, even politicians, should even be stiffer as they endanger other people. > Peddling drugs should be equated with attempted murder as the path of drug use is one highway to death. I have seen children in a mess because of drug use. > I commend the ZRP for a job well done in dealing with the drug problem. For her, I hope this may be the Damascene moment from which she emerges changed and ready to be transformed. > I will continue supporting her as my daughter and pray that she sees the light away from this path. > If she is a victim of friends then she must find new companions. Rehabilitation may be the way to salvation after this. > This is tough love I’m giving as I believe massaging one when they are into drugs can be ultimately fatal in the long run. > I have worked with organisations such as FASAA which rehabilitate victims and understand the need to be both loving and tough to salvage a victim. > I’m a parent not just to my children but to many others in the community. Thus my message and position remain the same. > We have to be strong against drug and substance abuse. Even as a public person I won’t abuse the access I have to many people and offices to subvert the path of the law but will allow it to work and rehabilitate her to emerge a better person. > I have seen children in a mess because systems were not allowed to function in their proper manner. > As parents, we need to stand strong with our children neither abandoning them in anger nor suffocating them with excessive love. We have to tread the path with love and principles.
