On a continuous quest to fight any form of illegal activities in the ZF Mgcawu District, the SAPS members work jointly with their informants in actions against crime.
A successful entrapment operation conducted by Upington Border Police members in the Rosedale area on Friday, 6 June 2025 led to the recovery of illicit cigarettes estimated at R1 873 716.00.
This follows after off duty members of High-Way Patrol informed their colleagues about the illicit cigarettes stored at one of the premises in Rosedale. A buy and sell bust operation was then conducted with the assistance of SARS Customs personnel.
Possession of illicit cigarette inquiry was subsequently registered, with exhibits being handed over to Customs for further handling and investigation.
The District Commissioner of ZF Mgcawu, Major General Monica Sebili, commended the members for the exemplary teamwork and prompt response.
