Limpopo police have opened an inquiry following the discovery of medication at the scene of the fatal crash involving a bus that was en route to Zimbabwe. Forty-three people died in the crash.
Provincial police spokesperson Col Malesela Ledwaba said according to Section 22A of the Medicine and Related Substances Act, it is a crime in SA to possess certain scheduled medicines without authorisation.
Legally, someone is only permitted to possess and carry the quantity of medicine you have been prescribed by an authorised prescriber. Carrying a large quantity of medicine without exception is illegal, he said.
