Two foreign nationals have been hauled before the Thabazimbi Magistrate’s Court after they were allegedly caught with dagga and cough syrups valued at more than R2 million.
Cuthbert Derera, 30, and Wishborn Fufa, 39, were bust on Saturday when police and private security intercepted a truck on the R510 road to Lephalale.
Cops from Northam and Thabazimbi SAPS, working with Zimbi Security, pounced after receiving a tip-off about a truck ferrying dagga and bottles of codeine-based cough syrup to the Groblersbrug border.
A search uncovered 40 bales of Swazi dagga worth R1.5m, along with bottles of Benylin, Bronclear and Astra Pain syrup valued at R500,000.
The suspects, who could not explain the origin of the stash, were immediately arrested and detained. They appeared in court on Monday and their case was postponed to September 22 for a formal bail application.
Police investigations are still ongoing.
