In a major blow to drug trafficking in Limpopo, police arrested a 47-year-old undocumented foreign national in Mokopane on June 7, seizing crystal methamphetamine valued at approximately R100,000. The Limpopo Provincial Flying Squad led the operation, uncovering the suspect’s possession of the dangerous drug without valid South African identity documents.
Facing multiple charges including drug possession, dealing, and violations of the Immigration Act, the suspect is set to appear in Mokopane Magistrate’s Court on June 9. This arrest follows a similar high-profile bust just a month earlier, when authorities confiscated drugs worth R150,000 from another foreign national in the same area.
Law enforcement officials emphasize their ongoing commitment to dismantling drug networks and urge residents to stay vigilant by reporting suspicious behavior. The crackdown highlights the challenges Limpopo faces in curbing the influx of illegal substances and maintaining community safety.
