The said members that were patrolling in the area then spotted them and ordered the driver to stop. Upon searching the bakkie, the astute members discovered about three refuse bags starched with dagga weighing at around 22,442 kg\u2019s and to the estimated value of about R94 256-00.<\/P><P>The suspects were then arrested and charged for dealing in dagga and preliminary investigation suggests that the suspects were allegedly trafficking the dagga from the Kingdom of Eswatini into South Africa when their mission was intercepted by the police. The said bakkie was also confiscated as police believe that it was used in the commission of crime.<\/P><P>They are expected to appear at the Elukwatini Magistrate&#8217;s Court on Monday, 25 April 2022 facing the said charges.<\/P><P>Meanwhile the Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela has once again emphasised her confidence on the members that have been posted to guard the borders of the country. \u201cWe believe in these members as they have the skills and ability to deliver successes as it has been proven with the recent arrests that they made which proves that the borders are safe and are in capable hands. We therefore encourage them to continue with the good work they are doing for the safety of the country\u201d said the General.<\/P><P><\/P><P><\/P><P>Source: South African Police Service<\/P><P><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NELSPRUIT &#8211;
