Activity on border posts provides strong evidence for the importation of drugs into Zimbabwe.
All three border posts mentioned (Beitbridge, Plumtree, and Maitengwe) are located in Matabeleland South province. This points to a significant trafficking corridor along Zimbabwe's southern border, with substances originating from or transiting through South Africa and Botswana.
The Beitbridge-Masvingo Road is the main arterial route leading from the Beitbridge Border Post into the interior of the country. Multiple arrests on this road strongly suggest that the drugs were imported and were being transported further into Zimbabwe.
The volume of drugs on this specific road (including the 310kg dagga seizure, one of the largest in the dataset) confirms that Beitbridge is not just a point of possession, but a major point of entry for large-scale trafficking destined for other provinces like Masvingo, Harare, and beyond.
