“Lieutenant General Manamela further applauded members for their vigilance which yielded positive results as the man was arrested before the seized dagga reached its destination,” said Mohlala.
Last month, two men, aged 37 and 44, were arrested in Mpumalanga for the possession of dagga valued at about R410 000 at Low's Creek. “According to the [SAPS] report, the members received information about a large volume of dagga stored at a certain house in Low's Creek. They then conducted an intelligence-driven operation and upon arrival at the house, they conducted a search where 13 bags stashed with dagga were discovered,” Mpumalanga police spokesperson Colonel Donald Mdhluli said at the time.
The two were arrested after their Toyota Corolla which was heading to Gauteng was stopped during a stop and search operation at Mzinti in Nkomazi. “Police then requested to search their vehicle and upon searching, 20 bags wrapped with plastic loaded with dagga weighing 39.159 kg were confiscated and the suspects were arrested hence their court appearance today,” Mdhluli said.Preliminary police investigations suggested that one of the two accused men is from neighbouring eSwatini.
