Warrant Officer T Ngobeni has come out on top according to Sergeant Nkuna for his recent operations. W/O Ngobeni has managed to arrest one person every day of the operation for the possession of dagga.
While driving in convoy the W/O would stop someone and when a search is done, that person is found to have a lot of dagga on him, and this has occurred a few times. The police managed to arrest dagga dealers whom they did not suspect at first. “Thank you for being always alert,” said Sergeant Nkuna.
