SA cops tackle Zimbabwe cigarettes smuggling
THE South African Police Service (Saps) is today convening a multi-sectorial summit in Polokwane, Limpopo Province, to deal with rampant smuggling of cigarettes into that country by Zimbabweans.
The summit is being hosted by the Saps Limpopo provincial commissioner, the Directorate Priority Crime Investigation Limpopo, the Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa and the University of Limpopo to discuss ways to effectively curb the illicit trade in cigarettes in the province. The Saps’ Limpopo provincial spokesperson colonel Ronel Otto told Southern Eye in a telephone interview yesterday that today’s meeting objectives were aimed at devising ways of dealing with rampant smuggling of cigarettes from Zimbabwe through the Beitbridge border post. “The smuggling is very rampant to the extent that different brands of cigarettes are being smuggled into Limpopo Province in transit to Gauteng Province,” she said.
