Join the war on drugs

The drug trade in Randfontein is flourishing and a whole lot bigger than most people think.

This, according to Randfontein SAPS spokesperson, Captain Appel Ernst, is the sad reality facing Randfontein.

Ernst says that police are encountering children as young as 13 that are addicted to a wide range of illegal substances that are available from a large number of dealers in Randfontein.

Police have called on the community to help them identify possible drug dealers by coming forward with any information that they may have.

According to Ernst, the community is the best source when it comes to rooting out drug dealers from neighbourhoods, and the Herald agrees fully.

Drug dealers operate within our neighbourhoods and often right under our noses, selling their poison indiscriminately to anyone willing to buy it regardless of whether they are mere children.

Anyone who knows someone that has had a drug problem would know the damage that drugs can do to a person and the havoc it can wreak in a family.

Why not do your bit and report any suspicious characters hanging around your neighbourhood to the police?

Anyone with any information regarding possible drug dealers in Randfontein, can contact the police on 011 278 8100.
