The man, believed to be a regular Philippi trader, was apparently carrying about 15 muffins that contained a mixture including dagga and flour. The man, who swore at the police claiming that his human rights were being violated, was one of hundreds of train commuters and vendors on stations in Philippi and Nolungile who were surprised by the police action on Thursday morning. Police, Metrorail security guards and the neighbourhood watch held the blitz to ensure the safety of commuters on trains. The Rastafarian man claimed the muffins were medicine and that everybody was buying them. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
