# Security analyst Andy Mashaile says the discovery of a suspected multimillion-rand Mandrax laboratory near Hartbeespoort Dam in the North West raises concerns that international drug manufacturers may be finding South Africa a conducive base. Police arrested four suspects following yesterday’s raid. Mashaile says gaps in the criminal justice system are creating a vacuum that allows drug manufacturers to operate at ease. He called for the arrest of the masterminds, tighter laws and tough consequences on the fight against drugs.
