A high-speed car chase involving the police and suspected drug dealers led to the arrest of two people in Phuthaditjhaba, the Free State, who are believed to have been operating a multimillion-rand lab, the police say.
National police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said a multi-disciplinary operation led the police to a drug laboratory in two buildings on Lefaso farm in Phuthaditjhaba on Thursday.
Naidoo said upon seeing the police closing in, one suspect fled on foot while another fled in a Toyota Fortuner.
The high-speed chase came to a stop in Warden and a suspect in his 50s was arrested.
The other suspect, a 32-year-old, was also arrested.
“The two buildings that should have been used for farming were instead being used solely for the manufacture of mandrax tablets.
“While one building was being used to manufacture the finished product, the other was being used for the storage of chemicals and other ingredients as well as for the preparation of the mixture for the making of the tablets,” said Naidoo.
Following the discovery on the farm, teams simultaneously raided two houses in Kiblerpark and Forrest Hill, Johannesburg.
Both houses have been positively connected to the farm after drugs, chemicals and substantial amounts of cash were found in both houses, Naidoo said.
While the exact value of the operation was difficult to ascertain, Naidoo said “it can be no less than R100m”.
The arrest of the two suspects had brought the number of suspects arrested in connection with these drug operations to 11, he added.
Weight loss can feel like an uphill climb.

A truck driver who lost control of his vehicle that crashed into the wall of a house in Reservoir Hills, KwaZulu-Natal, on Thursday has died, the authorities say.
Six passengers who were also in the truck were stable, Rescue Care spokesperson Garrith Jamieson told News24.
According to Jamieson, the two passengers who were seated in front with the driver were trapped in the cab and the Jaws of Life was used to free them. The other four passengers were travelling on the back of the truck.
The accident happened at about 17:30, said Jamieson.
No one in the house was injured.
Jamieson said while the weather in the province – with rescue workers and disaster management teams on high alert as thunderstorms loom – remained bad, “it is calm”.

Inclement weather in KwaZulu-Natal has seen two tornadoes form in the past two days – one in New Hanover on Tuesday and the other in Bergville on Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday afternoon, the body of a seven-year-old boy, who was swept off the Soweto bridge in Darnell while walking home from school, was found.
The province has been warned to expect more bad weather in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs indicated that preparations were in place to assist with any incidents resulting from the stormy weather.
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Sipho Hlomuka told the media a provincial joint operation centre in eThekwini would co-ordinate responses across the province.
Cape Town – Former Cricket South Africa CEO Haroon Lorgat’s controversially binned T20 Global League in 2017 had one thing going for it that the reworked, currently active Mzansi Super League boasts in smaller volume: genuinely big, proven names from the international landscape.
His larger, eight-team model – which would have featured Benoni and Bloemfontein-based franchises, both absent from the now two-season MSL – would have seen the following marquee players: Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo (West Indies), Lasith Malinga (Sri Lanka), Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan and Jason Roy (England) and Brendon McCullum (New Zealand).
At the time, they still counted among the major bums-on-seats players on the world T20 tournament circuit.
It is not the fault of the new, Thabang Moroe-led CSA regime, of course, that the already wobbling, six-team MSL could not lure the likes of Pietersen and McCullum: they have retired in the interim period.
Unavailability, for varying reasons, also cannot be avoided: for example, two of the three big Caribbean names, Pollard and Bravo (the latter represented Paarl Rocks last season) were non-starters for the 2019 MSL.
But it has meant, detrimentally, that only two of the cancelled Global League’s marquee overseas players – Gayle and Jason Roy – have kept that status for the current-version MSL, which is off to a rocky start both in gate-receipt and weather disruption-related terms.
The newcomers are Alex Hales, Tom Curran (a late starter for Tshwane Spartans after activity for England in their just-completed T20 series in New Zealand), Wahab Riaz (also initially absent through Pakistan duties) and Isuru Udana.
Sri Lankan all-rounder Udana entered the equation late as a replacement for David Willey, the England player deemed to require an easing of his workload.
Considering that the ill-fated Global League was also expected to find franchise homes for the likes of Chris Jordan, Dinesh Ramdin, Sam Billings, Mitch McLenaghan, Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Shah and Dawid Malan, the much-discussed MSL which stepped into the void looks more of a cut-price exercise when it comes to cosmopolitan feel – something that is usually considered beneficial as events of this kind are supposed to be a key cut above purely domestic franchise cricket because of the relative galaxy of international figures infusing them.
Especially as CSA has transformation requirements, affecting the composition and volume of locally-based personnel, the overseas-based players are under deeper pressure to justify their berths and not simply be seen as globetrotting journeymen making up numbers to bolster the perception of an “international” ingredient.
While Gayle, the so-called “Universe Boss” because of his formidable reputation for power hitting worldwide, naturally remains a drawcard on paper, he is also 40 years old now, noticeably cumbersome in the field and a stand-and-deliver sort of batsman not renowned for sprinting for sharp singles or pushing hard for twos and threes.
The MSL also features several non-marquee overseas players who have either been used very sparingly by their home countries in T20 internationals (the Cape Town Blitz’s Liam Livingstone has two England caps, for example) or are past their primes for highest-level combat: Jozi Stars’ Australian all-rounder Dan Christian, 36, played the last of his 16 T20 internationals more than two years ago and has an unflattering batting best for his country of nine and premier bowling figures of three for 27.
Are some of the overseas participants taking up spots that could, a little ironically, better be allocated to locally-based players?
The next couple of weeks, as the tournament develops, could provide some answers …

Vital Health Foods was the first to establish the health foods industry in South Africa. Today, the company is the number one vitamin and mineral supplement manufacturer in the country.
1. I am aware that the SARS application to court concerning a subpoena issued by the Public Protector compelling me to divulge taxpayer information has created a lot of speculation in the media and social media. Healthy debate is the basis for good democracy and the quality of the debate increases when it is informed by facts.
2. The SARS application to court is not about a specific taxpayer but SARS has turned to the court to clarify and determine an important legal principle that underscores a democratic principle founded on the relationship of trust between SARS and all taxpayers. This is a taxpayer’s right to privacy, which concerns the right to confidentiality of all information – personal and financial – held by the tax administration. Every single taxpayer in South Africa therefore has a direct vested interest in this matter on which we are seeking clarity, and no one can afford to be indifferent in this regard.
3. You could quite rightly ask why any organisation, or individual for that matter, would not welcome the obtaining of such clarity in a matter that clearly has such keen public interest and profound impact.
4. The constitutional principle of public access to information held by the state must be balanced against other constitutional principles, such as that of privacy, and other factors, such as the overriding risk of harm to a legitimate public or private interest. The interest of a taxpayer’s right to privacy, which concerns the right to confidentiality of personal information held by the tax administration, is generally recognized as outweighing the right to information and thus justifies confidentiality rules protecting privacy. Thus section 35 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000, provides mandatory protection for certain SARS records from third party requests.
5. Disclosure of tax information has consequences for the core business of any tax administration – the implementation and enforcement of tax legislation and regulation. The collection of taxes is clearly vital for any state financed by taxes and a tax administration’s primary responsibility is to collect the proper amount due to the government at the least possible cost to the public. The willingness of taxpayers to comply with the law depends greatly on the trust invested by citizens and businesses in the tax administration in question and in their confidence that their personal information will not be generally disclosed. Taxpayers should have their expectations confirmed that the tax authority administering the tax laws does so consistently and fairly so that similarly situated taxpayers are treated equally and consistently under the law. In the balancing of public interests, which may often be competing, the legislators clearly intended that taxpayer confidentiality is an overriding interest, unless otherwise expressed in law.
6. The Commissioner of SARS and all tax officials are legally compelled to uphold the confidentiality of taxpayers’ information, except under specific legal circumstances. The specific legal circumstances do not apply to the Public Protector.
7. The confidentiality provisions
7.1 In terms of the Tax Administration Act, 2011, (TAA) “taxpayer information” is subject to the confidentiality provisions which contained in Chapter 6 (sections 67 to 74) of the TAA.
7.2 The general rule is that all SARS officials must preserve the secrecy of “taxpayer information”. Section 69(1) of the TAA provides:
A person who is a current or former SARS official must preserve the secrecy of taxpayer information and may not disclose taxpayer information to a person who is not a SARS official.
7.3 There are, however specific provisions that allow “taxpayer information” to be disclosed to a person who is not a SARS official. These circumstances can be categorised into five categories:
7.4 The following Acts contain provisions that expressly override the tax confidentiality provisions:
The Public Protector Act, 1994, does not contain a provision that overrides the TAA’s confidentiality provisions.
7.5 Section 70 lists certain entities that SARS may provide information to but subsection 70(5) provides that such disclosure may be made only to the extent that it is necessary, relevant and proportionate to exercise a legislative function or duty. Further disclosure of taxpayer information by entities to whom SARS discloses under the provision is strictly regulated.
The Public Protector is not a person listed in section 70 of the TAA.
7.6 Even in the case of the parties permitted by law, SARS has to apply its mind to the purpose for which the information is being requested, how it will be used and how it will be protected.
7.7 The essence of this summary of the TAA is that the TAA does not allow SARS to provide “taxpayer information” to the Public Protector.
7.8 The breach of the TAA’s confidentiality provisions amounts to criminal offence in terms of section 236 of the TAA.
7.9 Equally a person who, without just cause refuses or fails to comply with a request for information by the Public Protector is guilty of a criminal offence under section 11(3) of the Public Protector Act, 1994.
8. In an attempt to avoid litigation, in 2018/19 officials from SARS and the Public Protector’s office briefed counsel jointly. The advice provided to SARS and the Public Protector, to my mind, clearly confirms that SARS cannot be compelled to provide taxpayer information to the Public Protector. Earlier this year I unequivocally expressed my support for the office of the Public Protector. In many other instances, I and my staff have worked diligently to extract information at the request of her office, and I shall continue to do so. I also expressed my wish that we would keep a line of communication open, where we could rather discuss issues of potential disagreement openly, honestly and frankly.
9. The subpoena issued upon me has taken me by surprise, as I believed that the goodwill expressed would be reciprocated in the interest of good governance and the constitutional duty between organs of state to cooperate with each other, to support each other and to respect each other’s functions and legal duties.
10. Taking this matter for judicial determination is certainly not my first choice. It would have been preferable for SARS and the Public Protector to have resolved this issue without resorting to a court. However, there is a fundamental issue of confidentiality of tax information at stake, which I am compelled to uphold for the benefit of all taxpayers. The principles are not limited to the taxpayers cited in the court documents. The principles affect every taxpayer and the efficient functioning of SARS. If at any stage either of the taxpayers consent to the release of their information, then SARS will respect that consent. Equally, if a court orders that SARS is required to release taxpayer information then I shall comply promptly with the order.
11. I view clarity on this matter as singularly important for democracy in South Africa and as a further building block in fulfilling my commitment to rebuild public trust and confidence in SARS. It is in this spirit that SARS’ application to court was made.
12. We are pleased with the outcome of the court decision today which essentially confirmed that parties will jointly engage with the court on the substantial matter whilst each retains their legal rights.
