Updated | By Nothando Mkhize
KZN Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube has commended police who made a multi-million rand drug bust in the north of the province this week.
Officers stormed the property in the rural community of Ngudwini on Thursday.
They found equipment and drugs suspected to be mandrax at the premises, though it was allegedly operating as a hardware supplying building material.
Police say the machines were found still running, but the suspects had already fled the property.
"Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube is encouraging the community of Ngudwini and many other areas to work with the police to uproot durgs in our communties," said her spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya.
The machines were found still running, but the suspects had already fled the property.
Community Safety MEC Sipho Hlomuka, who was at the scene, said the drugs and machinery were confiscated.
"It is in the deep rural area, as they manufacture these drugs here they dont sell it here maybe in the city. We must work together with communities."
