Druggies do not even hide their secret of addiction these days and openly uses it anywhere.
South African Community Crime Watch (SACCW) attended to a drug related teen run-away case on April 28, in Tasbet extension 2 where the teenager was located in under an hour after being reported missing to the organisation.
As the responders dispersed from the scene travelling through Klipfontein, Chairman of Del Judor extension 1, Mr Flip Opperman noticed a male sitting on the grass at Klipfontein dam not far from the pavement openly injecting him with heroin.

Opperman stopped the man and immediately called for back up.
As SAPS was still in the area from the previous scene they responded and a quick search revealed drug paraphernalia and the cooked up heroin still in the injection that was found on his person.
The evidence was collected and the suspect was arrested.
“It’s a shame that our city has become so drug infested that the users feel free to openly inject themselves on the pavements of public areas.
Well done to Flip Opperman for being so vigilant and thank you to Witbank SAPS for attending so promptly to the two cases back to back with such professional service! We will get our city back, one by one,” Maureen Scheepers concluded proudly.
