The Primrose police arrested eight men, between the ages of 22 and 42 years, for different cases of possession of dagga, in the Primrose area, during a weekend dagga raid, recently.
“We will keep on arresting people on the wrong side of the law,” said Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“We want Primrose to be a dagga-free zone.
“It is because of this dagga that we have so many other cases, like thefts, rapes and robberies.
The men have appeared at the Germiston Magistrates Court.
“Some were remanded in custody and others were warned by the court,” said Maome.

Uh, no. The dagga is not the problem. Using the police resources to stop dagga is the problem. It leaves us all vulnerable to attack. We don’t have the resources or the manpower for this nonsense. The police must take hard crime seriously. Arresting people for dagga in a neighbourhood full of violent alcoholism, rape and armed robbery is nonsense. Why can’t these cops do a proper job? It’s too easy to drive around arresting dagga smokers. Good grief man, half the population smokes that stuff! (I do not) When are we going to see real concerted police action against rapists, armed robbers and thugs? These police are just doing what is easiest so that they can say they have been doing something.
