Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa on
Tuesday launched the Anti-Drug Campaign in Mitchell’s Plain.
Mthethwa said the use of drugs has
become an international challenge.
He added that the drug challenge has
been complicated by the increasing manufacturing and sale of dependency-forming
substances with legal chemical substances.
As part of the campaign, the police
will implement intelligence-driven, concerted and programmatic interventions
aimed at dealing seriously with the illegal drug trade and use.
Ministerial Spokesperson Zweli Mnisi said the Ministry is confident that this challenge will be eradicated and that would need partnerships between police and communities.
Mnisi added that communities can
play a meaningful role in the fight against drugs.
