Theft of drugs worth R200m: Investigation continues
The Star
|July 28, 2025
MORE than four years after R200 million worth of drugs vanished from the Port Shepstone Serious Organised Crime offices in 2021, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), known as the Hawks, states that the circumstances surrounding the disappearance remain uncertain and are still under investigation.
At the time, the Hawks announced the launch of an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding this unexpected break-in, which set tongues wagging over the R200m cocaine theft.
However, the VP Justice Foundation, through its founder, Visham Panday has questioned whether anyone has been held accountable for the theft.
With the ongoing spotlight on police inflitration by alleged drug kingpins, Panday has placed the blame squarely on Major General Lesetja Senona, the head of the province’s Hawks.
