Days later a man, Philani Ndlovu was caught with $5 100 worth of crystal meth and dagga worth $1 700.

Crystal methamphetamine, is a dangerous drug derived from methylenedioxymethamphetamine which was already listed in Part II of the Schedule in the Dangerous Drugs Act and so anyone found dealing in the drug or even just possessing it is liable for prosecution.
