Police have confiscated drugs worth an estimated R116 million in two huge busts in the past week.
 
In the latest operation, officers arrested 19 people near Pinetown in KwaZulu-Natal at the weekend for possession of drugs worth an estimated R41 million. Police believe the suspects are part of a larger syndicate which manufacture and distribute drugs around the country.
