The collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies from Limpopo and Mpumalanga have resulted in a significant breakthrough. In the early hours of Thursday, 28 June 2024, a joint operation was conducted, which led to the arrest of a 37-year-old man at his residence in Malaeneng village in Dennilton under Sekhukhune District.
During the operation, the law enforcement officers discovered and confiscated one firearm, 17 live ammunition, and 98 sachets of nyaope drugs.
