SA Constitution turns 30: Refection on progress, gaps and the work ahead

South Africa is emerging as a production hub for high-quality methamphetamine that's manufactured by transnational syndicates and then later exported to its more lucrative markets in Australia and New Zealand, for example,” said McLaggan.

He said that these are sophisticated operations where frontrunners rent properties and procure equipment often used by pharmaceutical companies.

McLaggan warned that the drug-lab busts this year may only be the beginning.

 

“South Africa's drug economy continues to be well-supplied, despite these busts. So, there are certainly more of these labs around the country, some of which are industrial-scale facilities, and they continue to ply South Africa's drug economy with these drugs,” he added.

Police have confirmed the drug lab found yesterday was on premises being rented out
