Suppliers of drugs keep cops on toes

The have police revealed that the dagga, popularly known as Sekanka in the street lingo, is allegedly imported from Mozambique. But whenever it finds its way into Botswana, it is seized in most of the raids. Sekanka is believed to be stronger than other forms of dagga, something that makes its demand high in Botswana. Efforts to arrest suppliers are still nerve-racking though.

“The police are alert and have increased our surveillance because drug use in Botswana is a major concern as it has in the past been linked to a lot of health problems that can lead to unnecessary deaths,” said the Botswana Police Service’s (BPS) director of crime intelligence Nunu Lesetedi in an interview with Mmegi.
