Temba Mliswa’s 20-year-old daughter, m’Diwa Mliswa Chanetsa was arrested last week for possession of illegal drugs.
She was arrested by detectives together with 27-year-old Tawanda Chigudu in Avonlea, Harare, on 22 February 2024.
They were found in possession of methylenedioxymethamphetamine weighing approximately 1.30 grammes with a street value of ZWL$195 000.
The duo 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.
It was Mliswa, who is a former ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman, who revealed the arrest of his daughter for the drug offence.
Posting on social media site X, Mliswa, now a village head, said he decided to disclose the matter “for posterity, clarity and factuality to prevail before the issue is bastardised in the social fora.”
He said his daughter stays with her mother and suggested that she has a streak of rebellion.
