Girl Drugs Mom To Spend Time With Lover
A 17-year-old girl from Masvingo connived with her boyfriend to drug her mother by putting sleeping tablets into her food so that the two love birds could spend sometime together unhindered.
The two pleaded guilty to assault charges when they appeared before a Masvingo magistrate Farai Gwitima.
Three months of each sentence were suspended for the next five years on condition of good behaviour, leaving Mazvimba with an effective six-month term.
The magistrate also suspended the girl’s remaining six months on condition she performs 210 hours of community service at Mucheke clinic.
It was the State’s case that on 25 March 2021, Mazvimba gave his girlfriend seven sleeping tablets so that she could put them in her mother’s food.
The Herald reports that the State proved that the plan was to make the mother fall asleep so that the girl sneaks out at night and spend time with Mazvimba.
The girl’s mother came across mobile phone messages between the two where they were discussing the issue of the sleeping tablets leading to their arrest.
In other news, iHarare had reported that Zimbabwean youths are now extracting liquid from used and disposed sanitary pads and baby diapers to supplement the shortage of drugs in the market.
This liquid, known as “muto we ma Pampers” in street lingo, meaning “juice from pampers”, has gained popularity in the country’s capital where reports indicate there is an alarming increase in drug use.
As horrible as it sounds, drug users insist this is the best drug in the market so far because it is easily accessible and affordable as compared to other drugs.
Sanitary pads and diapers alike contain Sodium Polyacrylate which is used as an absorbent. This is a sodium salt of polyacrylic acid with the chemical formula [−CH₂−CH−]ₙ, and dissolves once boiled.
The chemical content in these is then taken as a drink, or injected into the system together with other injectable drugs found on the street. It is sometimes mixed with broncleer, a popular medical cough syrup containing alcohol and codeine.
