 Following reports of drug abuse and drugs being sold on Long Street in the CBD, Western Cape MEC of Community Safety, Dan Plato, said he will be conducting his own investigation into drugs in Long Street.

 In August the Provincial Government has budgeted R87 million to fight drugs in the province.

 Ministerial Spokesperson Greg Wagner said that MEC, Dan Plato would like to personally guarantee for himself, and will soon be walking down the street, in the CBD to find out what level of drug abuse is taking place.

 Wagner added that the MEC will then relay this information to the authorities including the police and the metro police so that they can deal with the matter.
