A 24-year-old commuter’s plan to hide dagga on his body all the way from eSwatini, formerly Swaziland, to White River was abruptly ended yesterday.
He was caught red-handed with five kilogram of dagga strapped to his back, hidden underneath his clothes, when the taxi he was travelling in was stopped and searched by police at Buffelspruit.
