In a concerted effort to combat drug-related crime, the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Limpopo arrested two male suspects for dealing in dagga during separate operations on Friday, 21 November 2025.
The first operation took place in the Waterberg District. A police team searched a house in the Shongoane area, where they discovered a 44-year-old male suspect in possession of 57 foil-wrapped sachets of dagga. The confiscated drugs have an estimated street value of R1,140.00. The suspect was immediately taken into custody and charged with possession of and dealing in drugs.
In a separate incident in the Capricorn District, members of the SAPS Sebayeng were conducting tracing duties around Ga Dikgale, Marobala Village. Acting on a tip-off about an individual allegedly selling dagga to school-going children, police moved swiftly to investigate. They proceeded to search the identified premises, leading to the confiscation of 31 sachets of dagga valued at approximately R600.00. A 48-year-old male suspect was arrested on a charge of dealing in dagga.
Both suspects are scheduled to make court appearances in the coming days. The 44-year-old suspect from Shongoane will appear before the Lephalale Magistrate’s Court, while the 48-year-old suspect from Ga Dikgale will face charges at the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court.
