Dagga Use On The Rise � Police

According to police reports, the use of marijuana is on the rise as evidenced by the raids made public by law enforcement officers through various media platforms as a way of sending a clear message to potential dealers. Despite the daily airings of the arrests on television, that message seem to be falling on deaf ears, as more arrests of peddlers with large quantities of drugs are a daily occurrence.

Marijuana or dagga, popularly known as sekanka in the street lingo, alleged to be from Mozambique, has found its way into the country. This type of dagga is believed to be stronger and more effective than other types, something that had led to its demand rising in Botswana.  Police say their efforts to arrest suppliers are nerve-racking.
