Popular Bulawayo socialite,  Baxolile Dube (37) popularly known as Baxo (pronounced Buckso), is in trouble with the law for allegedly possessing five grammes of co_caine with a street value of about $400.

Reports from the Chronicle have revealed that police raided his home and allegedly found the dangerous drug stashed in a wardrobe in his bedroom following a tip-off.

Dube yesterday appeared before Western Commonage Magistrate Mr Lungile Ncube and pleaded guilty to charges of possessing coc_aine.

He told the court that he got the drug in sachets from a friend based in South Africa who had visited the country this year.
“Sometime this year, I asked for some money from my friend (name not provided) and he told me he would give me cash since he was coming for a holiday,” he said.
“After he arrived in Zimbabwe, we met in the Central Business District and he gave me the drugs. He told me it was Khat and I should try selling it to get the money l needed.
“I honestly thought it was Khat because he was smoking the drug with some of his friends”.

The court heard that Dube sold some of the coc_aine to teenagers around his suburb.

He was remanded out of custody to October 2 for further investigations.
