Former Attorney General’s Son Eleph Khumbula Gula-Ndebele Granted Bail For Drug Possession

Gula-Ndebele, who is also a lawyer, was implicated in dealing dangerous drugs by a victim of drug abuse, Tsitsi Vundla, who was arrested in March 2024.

Law enforcement officers raided his residence, suspecting the presence of illegal drugs. Upon arrival, the police identified themselves and proceeded to search both Gula-Ndebele and his property.

Discovery of Suspected Cocaine On The Premises

During the search, detectives discovered a sachet of a substance believed to be cocaine concealed within the door panel of Gula-Ndebele’s black Volkswagen Polo. The confiscated material was taken for testing.

Subsequent field tests confirmed that the substance was indeed cocaine, weighing approximately 1 gram. The estimated street value of the cocaine was pegged at ZIG$390.
