“The magnitude of drug dealings in Gauteng is a major concern for our government and its effect in society should not be underestimated. Most communities struggle with substance abuse particularly nyaope and most crime that are recorded in our province are attributed to this scourge.
“My department will continue to raise awareness about substance abuse with a view to break the demand and supply value chain of drugs. This will allow us to share information on the modus operandi used by the syndicates and manufacturers to assist government to remove drug dealers from the society.
I appeal to community members to report all suspected drug dealers and refrain from engaging in substance abuse particularly drugs which is rife in our province. Working together we can ensure a safe and secure environment for all citizens,” said MEC Nkosi-Malobane.
