Western Cape woman nabbed for drug possession

Police in Cape Town have arrested a 46-year-old woman for the possession of drugs with an estimated street value of R1 million.

Members attached to the Khayelitsha South African Police Service (SAPS) Crime Prevention Unit arrested the suspect on Friday, who was found with a large amount of mandrax.

“On Friday, the members were conducting a stop and search operation, when they received information about a premises in T-Block, Sector 6, Site B, Khayelitsha, that is allegedly used as a liquor storage facility.

“The members immediately operationalised the information and on arrival, they found a lady on the premises carrying a big green bag, and found 10 packets of mandrax tablets and four small clear packets also with mandrax tablets.

“When counted in each of the 10 packets, 1 000 units of mandrax tablets were found and inside the four small packets, 100 mandrax tablets were found, with an estimated street value of R1 million,” the police said.

The suspect is expected to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court on Monday for possession of drugs.

Western Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General (Adv) Thembisile Patekile, commended the efforts of community members, who shared valuable information that led to the recovery of the drugs. – SAnews.gov.za

    Van is getting married, but he and his fiancee have never done the deed – in fact he\’s never been with any woman before. He\’s getting more and more nervous as the big day approaches, so he confides in his friend. His friend says \’No worries man. I\’ll come by the honeymoon suite before you guys get there, and I\’ll hide behind the curtain, and I\’ll whisper instructions to you.\’

    \’You\’d do that for me?\’

    \’Sure thing man!\’

    So the wedding day arrives, it was a lovely service (so I was told, I wasn\’t there myself) and Van\’s friend sneaks into the honeymoon suite as promised and hides behind the curtain.

    Van and his new wife arrive in the room, get settled on the bed, and things are getting steamy.

    But Van is still super nervous and his tummy is bubbling, so he murmers to his wife, \’Listen babe, I\’m just gonna go to the bathroom quick. I think it\’s that wors roll from earlier.\’

    \’Sure thing babe.\’

    So Van goes into the bathroom, and he\’s taking quite a long time. And his wife is starting to feel the nerves herself. And it\’s getting worse. She can\’t hold it in. But she doesn\’t want to go after he\’s gone and totally ruin the mood. So she looks around and finally finds a shoebox. Quickly, she does her business in the shoebox, and she shoves it under the bed just as Van comes back from the loo.

    Van gets back on the bed and they go at it again. But after a minute or so Van smells something not so lekker.

    \’What\’s that smell?\’

    \’Nothing babe,\’ he wife tries to assure him.

    \’No man there\’s definitely something not so lekker in this room!\’VSo Van starts looking around the room, in the corners, in the cupboard, and finally he looks under the bed, and sees the shoebox.

    He pull it out, and opens it up, and in horror he shouts \’Sies! Daar\’s kak in hierdie doos!\’

    And from behind the curtain his friend yells, \’NEE MAN, DRAAI HAAR OM!\”
