In a bid to rid communities of drugs, police in Schweizer-Reneke working together with Crime Intelligence, nabbed two suspects on 15 February 2024. The North West police spokesperson, Col Adele Myburgh said the reports suggest that, the police received a tip-off about a Nissan vehicle, which was transporting drugs on the N12 road between Klerksdorp and Schweizer-Reneke.

“The police operationalised the intelligence and the suspects’ vehicle was spotted and stopped. Subsequent to the search, a total of 25kg of compressed dagga with an estimated street value of R100 000 was found inside the vehicle and that lead to the arrest of the duo.

“Thabang George Molefe (24) and Thandazile Ndlovu (24), briefly appeared before the Schweizer Reneke Magistrate’s Court on 16 February 2024 on charges of possession of dagga.

“Molefe was granted R1000 bail, whilst Ndlovu was remanded in custody. Their case was postponed to 19 February 2024,” she said.
