Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – The illicit drug trade in the Western Cape was dealt a heavy blow when Manenberg SAPS and Flying Squad seized drugs estimated at R500 000-00 and arrested a 47-year-old male in connection with the find in Manenberg. Substance abuse has plagued our communities in the Western Cape, as it is the main generator of gang violence and turf conflict, and is considered the root cause of gender based violence. On Saturday, 05 October 2024, the members followed up information received of a large consignment of drugs at an address in Red River Walk, Manenberg. They immediately operationalised the information, went to the address, and on searching the premises, they found 15000 mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R500 000-00 packed in brown boxes. The suspect was arrested for possession and dealing in drugs and will appear in the Athlone Magistrates court on Monday, 07 October 2024 on the mentioned charges. Anyone with information regarding any illegal gang activity can contact Manenberg SAPS 021 699 9400 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111. Ends
