A 37-year-old woman appeared before a magistrate in Masvingo facing charges of selling pills without a prescription.
Margaret Masika was fined US$500, with the alternative of paying an equivalent amount into ZiG by May 31, failure to do so will result in two months imprisonment.
Masika pleaded guilty.
Allegations indicate that Masika was found with a cache of pills in her handbag which was discovered during a police search of her belongings. Subsequent investigations revealed that she did not have a valid prescription from a doctor, indicating that she was not licensed to sell the medicine.
