Huge drug bust in Limpopo

Drugs worth R10m, four illegal firearms, ammunition and equipment for manufacturing drugs were recovered on the Terra Nostra game farm outside Marblehall, Limpopo.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said two suspects, aged 25 and 37, were arrested and will appear in the Marblehall Magistrate’s Mojapelo Court soon.

Mojapelo said police acted on information from the community and discovered the drug lab on the farm.

“The operation was conducted until the early hours of [Tuesday] morning.

“Preliminary police investigations revealed that more suspects could have been on the farm and this necessitated a massive manhunt.

“Due to the vastness of the area and a bushy environment, some of the suspects managed to evade arrest.”

According to preliminary investigations, the farm was bought by a suspect who paid millions of rand in cash for the property.
