Botswana national arrested for illegally entering SA with eight kilograms of dagga

A 35-year-old Botswana national has been arrested by police in Mpumalanga, South Africa, at the Oshoek border with Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) for illegally entering the country with around eight kilograms of dagga.

During a patrol, Oshoek border policing members became suspicious of the man, who was carrying a travel bag. Upon searching the bag, police found four rolls of dagga (cannabis) wrapped in brown masking tape, weighing approximately eight kilograms and worth R33,600.

It was later revealed that the arrested individual is a Botswana national who was traveling from eSwatini to South Africa.

The man is expected to appear before the Chief Albert Luthuli Magistrate’s Court in Mpumalanga. Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala stated that the arrest demonstrates the commitment of the police to maintain the authority of the state and prevent criminal activity.

Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, the provincial commissioner of police in Mpumalanga, welcomed the arrest and urged all residents and visitors to avoid engaging in criminal behavior while in South Africa.
