The Border Management Authority has just achieved what is likely the single biggest breakthrough against the drug trade in South African history, by intercepting a consignment at Beitbridge valued at nearly R1 billion. (You read that right).
Yesterday, an intelligence-driven operation coordinated out of our National Targeting Centre identified a truck travelling through Zimbabwe to Beitbridge. Upon arrival, the BMA was ready and waiting for it. The truck was intercepted and examined through the sophisticated truck scanner on site, with a hidden compartment discovered. Working over 8 hours, the BMA patiently dismantled the truck until a substance was discovered that was confirmed to be methaqualone, also known as ABBA, commonly used in the manufacture of mandrax.
The Hawks and K9 units were called in, with 713 000 grams of the substance seized at an estimated value of R998 200 000. Just under R1 billion.
Three Malawian suspects were arrested and taken to the Musina Police Station, with the Hawks to conduct further investigations.
This historic breakthrough in the fight against smuggling and drugs vividly demonstrates that the combination of intelligence-led investigations, digital transformation, and the commitment of the BMA is systematically rebuilding the rule of law at our borders! 🇿🇦
Trying to open a business account with Standard Bank and it’s been 4 working days and I still don’t have an account? At this point, do I still even want to proceed with them because what the hell?
HELA WTF!?
for context: my older sister is adopted.
Anyway my older sister has had this best friend since high school with whom the relationship has been pretty one sided with my sister always being the one being the bigger person.
So a month or two ago my sisters best friend lost her mom. My sister was broke that weekend and almost didn’t make it to the funeral. She also went to buy her best friend a dress because she kept saying she doesn’t have the strength to do it herself.
My sister also got asked to sleep at the family house on the weekend of the funeral. First she declined, then she slept over on Friday. The Saturday (day of the funeral), my sister was just the supportive friend. Okay cool. So certain rooms were locked because yk it’s a funeral.
Anyway my sister and her best friend were sleeping in the same room with her best friends kids. 😭 after the funeral and after tears? My sister decided she wants to go to our house. her best friend was trying to convince her to stay. She yielded a bit but when no one saw her she left but she left her overnight bag from Friday.
It is now Sunday, my sister decides to go and see how her best friend is doing. She gets there and they tell her the best friend went out but she’ll be back. My sister decided to wait for her. My sister also decides to go fetch the overnight she left the previous evening.
😭😭😭😭 you won’t believe me when I say…. SOMEONE SHAT IN HER BAG…. 😭✋🏾✋🏾✋🏾✋🏾 LIKE REAL SHIT guys. POOO😭✋🏾 so now everyone is appalled because wtf? 😭
And another thing is only one person had access to that room. 😭🕊️ my sisters best friend hasn’t spoken to her since, hasn’t called to apologise for the incident. NOTHING. Instead my sister was getting calls from the best friends cousins and uncles/aunts apologising.
😭 how do you shit in someone’s bag?
Rest in peace to the 59 year old Gauteng business man who was swallowed by a crocodile. This is the very same man who once trending for wage abuse. The poor ladies fought very to get paid and he insulted them.
