Several pupils from Emfundisweni Primary School in Alexandra have been admitted to the hospital after they unknowingly bought and ate cookies baked with dagga on Wednesday.
An undocumented Eswatini national was taken for questioning after a dagga plantation of almost half a hectare, with goods weighing 500kg at an estimated street value of R2.1m, was found in Pongola, northern KwaZulu-Natal.

The suspects were taken to the Sydenham Police Station. The checkpoint was introduced during the start of the Bisasar clean-up
