Jailtime For Mutoriro User

In June 2021, Mathew Hopkins was jailed for two and half years after he admitted to using crystal methamphetamine, commonly referred to as Mutoriro. He was initially jailed for four years when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Munamato Mutevedzi charged with possession of dangerous drugs. Mutevedzi set aside 18 months of the sentence for five years on the condition that Mathew Hopkins does not commit a similar offence within that period.

Hopkins told the court that he bought the crystal methamphetamine in Mbare, Harare for personal consumption. In sentencing Hopkins, Mutevedzi said the abuse of such drugs was on high prevalence among youths.^[2]
