Police in Kraaifontein seize a large cache of Mandrax from a truck and arrest the driver. According to reports, officers find 41,000 Mandrax tablets in two bags inside a Volvo truck. The driver, 44, is taken into custody after the drugs are reportedly discovered.
The outlets say the seizure happens in the Western Cape. One report describes the driver as a trucker and notes the alleged plan was to transport the drugs toward Johannesburg. Another account, republishing the same core information, specifies the driver is Zimbabwean and frames the incident as an attempt to move the drugs from outside South Africa into the country’s transport routes. No additional details are provided in the available sources about charges, court proceedings, or who investigated the case beyond police involvement.
