The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa welcomed the arrest of two suspects who were charged for possession of drugs.
“We will intensify our Festive Season operations in getting rid of drugs in our community. We appeal to the community members to come forward and give us information about any suspected drug dealers in their areas. Our Crime Stop number 08600 10111 can be used to give information about any criminal activities in our province,” he said.
