Bulawayo Man Jailed For Dealing with Dangerous Drugs

A man, Tyron Siegfried Pigors (39) of Matsheumhlope, Bulawayo, has been sentenced to five years in jail for dealing in dangerous drugs by the Magistrates’ Court.

According to a statement issued by the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA), Pigors was sentenced by the Bulawayo Regional Magistrates’ Court for dealing in dangerous drugs, including crystal meth.

“On 6 March 2025, detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics Bulawayo raided Pigors’ home on Chelmsford Road following a tip-off about drug dealing.

The search uncovered a safe box disguised as a ‘New English Dictionary’ hidden under his bed, which contained sachets of crystal meth, as well as two digital scales in his wardrobe,” said the NPA statement.

There was also a blue metal trunk in the spare bedroom containing 17 medium sachets of crystal meth (inside a Lobels biscuits box), 11 large sachets of crystal meth (inside a Puma shoe box), and one glass kitchen scale.

“The recovered drugs weighed 1.260 kilograms, with a street value of US$6,300,” the NPA statement added.

Pigors was sentenced to eight years in prison, of which three years were suspended for five years, leaving him with an effective sentence of five years behind bars.
