Police spokesperson Lt-Col Mavela Masondo said officers from the crime intelligence unit pounced on the property on Monday after receiving information that a house in Naledi was being used as a clandestine drug manufacturing laboratory.
“Inside the premises, police found two shacks. In one of the shacks, police found equipment suspected to be used for manufacturing Mandrax tablets,” Masondo said. He said a variety of equipment, including an industrial machine and buckets containing ingredients used in the manufacturing process, were recovered.“The fight against the scourge of drugs and substance abuse remains one of the priorities for the police in Gauteng. I appreciate the vigilance displayed by police that led to the recovery and the subsequent closing down of the place that is manufacturing drugs in Soweto,” said Gauteng police commissioner Lt-Gen Elias Mawela.
“We believe there are more people involved in this drug lab and we will ensure they are also hunted down and brought to book.”
That mentality of thinking criminal re only foreigners should be banished in our mind; it s a disguise of hatred, crime knows no boundary, no race, no gender, nor age; criminals re everywhere n we must report them as fast as possible
It should be a foreigner, sebagcwele la ekasie
They will blame foreigners when we have our own hooligans
Where are they from?
