Temba Mliswa’s 20-year-old daughter, m’Diwa Mliswa Chanetsa was arrested last week after she was found with methylenedioxymethamphetamine.

M’Diwa was arrested by detectives together with 27-year-old Tawanda Chigudu in Avonlea, Harare, on February 22, 2024 following a tip-off.

The two were charged with unlawful possession of dangerous drugs as defined in section 157(1) (a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act Chapter 09:23 as read with section 14(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act Chapter 15:02.

According to the Exhibit Affidavit statement, the two were found in possession of methylenedioxymethamphetamine weighing approximately 1.30 grammes with a street value of ZWL$195 000.

“On 22 February, 2024 at around 1200 hours, Detectives from CID Drugs Harare received information that the accused persons were in possession of drugs at number 35 Colchester, Avonlea Harare.

“In pursuant to the supplied information and on the same date at around 1300 hours, detectives proceeded to the supplied address where, upon arrival, they located the accused persons who were in the house.

“The detectives introduced themselves as police officers and highlighted their mission to the accused persons.

“Searches were conducted in the house and seized one sachet of methylenedioxymethamphetamine in the dining room under the sofa. Accused persons were subsequently arrested.

“A preliminary field test on the seized suspected methylenedioxymethamphetamine was carried out in the presence of the accused persons and it tested positive," reads the statement.

The methylenedioxymethamphetamine weighs approximately 1.30 grammes with a street value of ZWL $195 000-00.

Mliswa announced the arrest of his daughter through his X page, saying he decided to disclose the matter for clarity and factuality.

“One of my daughters, the third 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.

“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 future 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,” he posted.
