POLICE CONFISCATE OVER E100 000 SEX PILLS, 5 ARRESTED

MANZINI - The police have arrested five businesspeople and confiscated sex pills and teas valued at over E100 000 during a random raid in Manzini. The raid was conducted by members of the Royal Eswatini Police Service (REPS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade, Eswatini Competition Commission and Municipal Council of Manzini. According to Manzini Regional Commissioner Senior Superintendent Charles Simelane, the random raid was aimed at checking compliance among the traders in the city.

Discovered

He said they discovered that some shops are selling sex pills, teas and herbs, yet such should be sold by pharmacies. Apart from the sex pills and teas, the regional commissioner said they were also looking for trading licences together with entry permits and work permits for foreign businesspeople. He said during the raid, they also confiscated items which have expired and those which were not properly packaged among others. He said the businesspeople who were arrested paid E500 each as an admission of guilt. He said they would apply for a destruction order from the court so that they could burn all the sex pills and teas, together with the expired items which were confiscated during the raid.
Some of the sex boosters included sweets, which are used by women. According to the benefits, which are written on the packaging, the sweets tighten the private parts of women. Others are written that they last for at least 72 hours in a man’s body.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Assistant Superintendent Nosipho Mnguni said the police also found a man from Somalia with several raw herbs, which are said to be used to boost men’s sex drives. She said the man was found with the herbs at Manzini Bus Rank. By the time of compiling this report yesterday evening, Mnguni said the man was being interviewed by the police.

Confiscated

She highlighted that the herbs were confiscated from the man. She said it is believed that herbs had just been delivered to the man by his supplier. The exercise sparked a debate among members of the public. Some said the unavailability of sex pills and teas in stores might result in an increase in divorces in the country because many men out there were using them to satisfy their women, which was something that made their marriages strong. On the other hand, other members of the public commended the police and their partners for conducting the operation. They alleged that some of the sex pills and teas cause cancer.
