Palapye Becoming Illicit Drugs Bureau

The North Central divisional commander, Christopher Mbulawa said they caught horse-and-trailer trucks that smuggled drugs through the Martin’s Drift Border Post using Palapye, because of its strategic location, as a distribution centre to other areas around the country late last year.

He added that the illegal consignment was found stashed in chicken mash.  The matter is already before the courts. He explained that last year some Zimbabweans were also caught with 50kg of dagga in Palapye. One of them Steven Nkomo, 34, was convicted.
