Paul and the other four are facing charges of contravention of the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964, and dealing in illicit cigarettes. Apparently the Hawks received an anonymous tip off from the community, which then lead to the arrest.
The group was released on R1000 bail at the Polokwane Magistrates court.
It was revealed that 45 cartons of Remington Gold cigarettes, valued at R12,000, and R9,681 in cash, were seized during the operation.
The accused are set to reappear in court on October 5. The accused along with Paul Seweti Image credit: operanewsapp.com
