Julius Kintu, 36, was sentenced on Friday after his conviction for contravention of the Medicines and Related Substances Act. The Hawks’ narcotics enforcement bureau, working with crime intelligence, investigated people suspected of flooding the East London community with Cytotec tablets. Hawks spokesperson Capt Yolisa Mgolodela said the team of investigators witnessed several purchases of the pills between October 21 2021 and November 11 2021. This led to Kintu’s arrest.
“At the time of his arrest, 120 Cytotec tablets were confiscated together with cash to the value of R3,250,” said Mgolodela.TimesLIVE
