Although the pupil tested positive, the police did not find drugs in the pupil’s possession.
Sergeant Cookie Maphanga from the Social Crime Prevention Unit, police spokesperson Constable Bopape and sector managers Constable Gerry Maluleke, Constable Maqhawe Dlodlo and Constable Vincent Hlugwane returned to the school on 5 February.
This time pupils were educated about the dealings and possible law infringements. Const Bopape explained that pupils were vulnerable and drug dealers could use them to their advantage.
“We told them about the possible sentencing of smuggling drugs in the school and the dangers of substance abuse,” he said.
He also discussed the tactics used by drug dealers to lure pupils in and how it could be prevented.
