Burgersfort police intercepted a Toyota Hilux bakkie carrying a significant amount of dagga valued at approximately R3.5 million on the R37 roadPolice say the vehicle reportedly travelled from Lydenburg in Mpumalanga province to deliver the dagga in Burgersfort when it was stopped. Beginning her 13-year-long career at eNCA, she honed her reporting skills and coverage of crime and court cases, which she further developed at The Citizen newspaper, African News Network and Newzroom Afrika.
“The major drug bust was made during a routine roadblock conducted jointly with the members of the local farm watch.” The driver of the vehicle tried to escape, but police gave chase. When he couldn't escape, he left the car and ran away. After checking more, police found the vehicle had 13 bales and 46 bags of dagga, weighing about 711kg, sealed tightly with a compressor. The car has been taken into investigation."But dagga never caused either any public violence or car accidents. It's just how our poor people enjoy nature and make ends meet.""The same harmless dagga that was legalised moons ago is the one they are still running after; when will they go after? Nyaope, that is killing the youth of SA.
