Minister Of Home Affairs , ‘Chombo’ To Tackle, Teenage Antisocial Vuzu/ Sex Drug & Alcohol Partys

Some take concoctions to enhance their sex marathons. “On the issue of vuzu parties being conducted by youths, the government is working on addressing the matter in view of tightening loopholes in the existing legislation dealing with anti-social behaviour. However, all those caught on the wrong side of the law are arrested,” said Cde Chombo in a written response to questions from The Chronicle.

He said the burden to ensure that children do not engage in risky behaviour does not only lie with the police but with parents as well. “I urge parents to work hand in glove with the police. They should play a role of knowing where their children are at all times, keeping them busy and also to counsel their children on appropriate behaviour. That way, I believe we will win the battle of reducing crime among our children,” Cde Chombo said.

Recently, Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango told The Chronicle that they were going to take further action and charge parents with child negligence as stipulated in the Children’s Act.

In July, police arrested 16 pupils from four schools in Bulawayo for conducting “vuzu parties’’ at a house in Cowdray Park. In August, 224 pupils who held their party at Umguza Rest Camp on the outskirts of Bulawayo were also detained and released into the custody of their parents.
