“When Sergeant Sikhakhane asked to search the parcels which they had brought for the inmates, the contraband was discovered,” said police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid.

The man was placed under arrest when Sgt Sikhakhane found dagga in a bag of maize meal.

The woman was caught when Sgt Sikhakhane discovered 18 whoonga capsules, which were wrapped in plastic, inside a bottle of body lotion. The street value of the whoonga is about R720. They will appear in court soon.
