Chipinge: Two villagers from Chimanimani were recently jailed 12 months each for illegally growing 1 300 plants of cannibas at their homestead.
Munyaradzi Tirimboyi (36) and Noleen Mapunzira (24) of Gadyadza village, under Chief Muusha, Chimanimani were arrested after police received a tip-off that the two were in the business of cultivating dagga in their maize field.
They appeared before magistrate Elizabeth Hanzi facing charges of unlawful cultivation of dagga.
