Dating

263Chat published the article on Wednesday 28 October 2026 and says the two men were arrested "on Monday". The stored date, 26 October 2026, is that Monday. The article gives no date for the discovery of the plants.

Quantities

The article gives 770 plants and does not give a weight for the processed dagga, or an area for the field, so neither is stored.

Map pin

Ruwaka Village has no entry in the gazetteers used. The pin is Wikidata's point for Chimanimani District (Q1073093, in Manicaland Province), rounded to two decimals, and marks the district, not the field.
