Sarah Baartman District Commissioner, Major General Zolani Xawuka applauded the arrest and stated that drug dealers who think they can ply their trade in small towns must know that their actions are closely monitored.
"The police will not tolerate their illegal activities. These drugs are being used by teenagers and the unemployed in the area. In order to feed their habit, the drug addicts will resort to crime. Therefore, we appeal to the residents to continue to provide police with information of illicit drug activity so that these drug traffickers could be flushed out and arrested," said Xawuka.
