TSOLAMOSESE: Mogoditshane police have expressed concern at the alarming rate of drug abuse in schools after a raid revealed that primary and secondary school pupils are being sold various types of hard drugs by people masquerading as street vendors in front of the schools.

Speaking at a Kgotla meeting in Tsolamosese recently, inspector Thatayamodimo Mokgang revealed that their recent raid of primary and secondary schools in Mogoditshane uncovered a high number of an assortment of hard drugs. “Many of you might think that dagga is the only drug used in this country but during the raid, we found multiple drugs from your children. Some of the drugs we did not even know them,” he said.

He said they entered classrooms unannounced and searched the pupils’ backpacks, and found different types of drugs. He said that after apprehending and questioning some of the pupils, they discovered the students buy the illegal substances from street vendors selling outside the school premises. “We are surprised that when some of the parents or community members are given freedom to sell children snacks, they use that opportunity as a disguise and sell a few sweets while they hide the drugs in the tables. During the raid, we pounced on a lot of them and found drugs in their tables,” said Makgang.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
