By A Correspondent- The Siyadudula operation general secretary, Benjamin Chisari said they were raiding houses looking for drugs, houses used for sex work and any other illegal activities that residents of Orange groove have been complaining about.

The South African police crackdown team, which conducted the Operation dubbed Siyadudula discovered 24 coffins some of them used in Orange Groove during their raids.

Said one of the officers:

“When we got to the house, we found a caretaker who’s been working there for three years. He gave us permission to search the house and when we opened one of the rooms, we found coffins.

We had no idea we’d find coffins. We thought we might find drugs as tipped off but we were in for a shock,” he added.

Benjamin also told Daily Sun that when they asked the caretaker about them, he said he was just a worker who was just sticking to his job.

Daily Sun spoke to the JMPD spokesman, Wyne Minnaar, who confirmed that 24 coffins were found. ”The matter is with the police,” said Minnaar.
