Moremi said all the arrested would appear in court soon.
Mokobori said those still dealing in drugs would face the music.
“Drug dealers won’t have peace as long as we are around and our aim is to keep the community of Temba clean. We have dedicated members who are willing to serve, combat crime and protect our society,” she said.
She encouraged the community to continue giving the police information about those who committed crime.
