Police in Johannesburg have destroyed drugs with an estimated street value of R800 million.

National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says some of the drugs destroyed were linked to high-profile cases.

“Every year, this is what we do. 3–4 times a year. Once a case has been finalised we obtain a court order and get permission from the court to destroy these particular drugs. So some of the drugs getting destroyed today are linked to high-profile cases. One of those cases is the drug bust that happens every year in August in Alston, Cape Town. Police intercepted a truck transporting drugs worth R400 million.”This website uses cookies to improve your experience.
