A recent report titled “Mental health Among Young people in the African Region” by @WHOAFRO raises a concerning statistic. #Zimbabwe has the highest number of 15 to 19 year olds who engage in heavy episodic drinking. @MoHCCZim @ParliamentZim @WHO_Zimbabwe sundaymail.co.zw/a-pandemic-in-…

🔵The re-introduction of breathalysers is being overshadowed by an outdated legal blood-alcohol limit and a weak policy framework, the Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance in Zimbabwe has warned. southerneye.co.zw/local/article/…

📸 The ZRP is getting new armour in its fight against bad driving: breathalysers. Transport minister Felix Mhona will today handover the gadgets to police in Harare. Breathalysers to catch out drink drivers will be deployed at police checkpoints starting this festive season

The handover of breathalysers and speed trap equipment is a bold and positive step one that needs to be anchored in a comprehensive, up-to-date alcohol policy. @PoliceZimbabwe @MoHCCZim @ParliamentZim #Zimbabwe zwi.co.zw/2025/11/21/saa…

SAAPA hosted a regional forum from 20–23 May, bringing together representatives from member countries to engage in strategic discussions on advancing collaborative efforts to reduce alcohol-related harm across our communities. #AlcoholSaferSA #AlcoholSaferCommunities

Reducing alcohol outlets density is not just a public health issue, it is a social justice imperative. Women and children deserve to live in communities free from the threat of alcohol-fueled violence. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #RoadSafety hmetro.co.zw/campaign-targe…
