Johannesburg – A Nigerian man was arrested in Germiston on Tuesday for manufacturing drugs, Ekurhuleni metro police said.

“Police escorted him to his flat where a funnel, miniature scale and two kilograms of phosphor and iodine were found,” said spokesman Wilfred Kgasago.

He said the 29-year-old man was also found in possession of cathinone, a chemical similar to amphetamines.

The man would appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
