(005875.811-:E-000062.43:N-AC:R-SU:C-30:V)
[You get all kinds of weird substances that these Blacks use here in SA. And they have strange names. Khat is one of them. Jan]On Sunday 11 February 2024, our Provincial Traffic Services seized over 500 units of khat, with an estimated value of R500 000, helping reduce illegal substances on our streets and making the Western Cape a safer place for all.
While conducting routine vehicle checks along the N1 in Kraaifontein, Provincial Traffic officers stopped a panel van travelling towards Cape Town. Upon inspection, the driver became visibly nervous, which prompted a further search of the vehicle and detection of the contraband.
The driver was arrested for possession of an illegal substance and taken to the Kraaifontein South African Police Service station for further investigation.
I am proud of our Provincial Traffic officers for their dedication to the people of this province. This success is well-deserved, as they work tirelessly to keep our roads and communities safe.
