Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A 41-year-old man from eSwatini, formerly known as Swaziland, has been arrested by members of the Mpumalanga police for alleged dealing in dagga.<\/b><\/p>\n

The police\u2019s Operation Shanela resulted in the arrest of Majahakangwane Sifundza when he allegedly attempted to smuggle dagga into South Africa via the Port of Entry in Mahamba on Monday, October 30.<\/p>\n

The provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Donald Mdhluli, said police were conducting their duties when a black VW Golf with registration number plates from eSwatini emerged and approached the search bay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was during this time that police became suspicious after sensing a dagga smell from the spare wheel in the boot of the car. Six black plastic bags containing dagga were discovered, weighing about 1,630 kilograms with an estimated street value of about R6,846,\u201d Mdhluli said.<\/p>\n

Sifundza was subsequently arrested and charged for dealing in dagga.<\/p>\n
