Lesotho court dismisses the Srugo cannabis case
The criminal case against Tom Srugo under section 9(1)(a)–(b) read with section 6 was dismissed for lack of prosecution, and a court order directed the return of 337 plants and 4 kg seized from his Thetsane residence in 2024. Police had still not returned the plants by October 2026, and the Ministry of Health was withholding a licence renewal.
South African pilots intercepted with 500 kg of cannabis
A Federal Airlines aircraft landed unlawfully at Moshoeshoe I airport with 500 kg of cannabis from Thailand, allegedly destined for South Africa. The pilots were fined M200,000 for unlawful landing and sent back; police denied that it was a cannabis seizure. The cannabis and destination claims were allegations, not court findings.
Police seize a licensed cannabis import at Moshoeshoe I airport
