An eight-year-old boy was caught with a packet of dagga at a primary school in Phoenix, north of Durban, on Tuesday.
Reaction Unit SA (RUSA) director Prem Balram said a teacher contacted the private security company after the drug was allegedly found in the grade three pupil's possession.
“When reaction officers interviewed the eight-year-old, he explained that he was given the packet of cannabis by his uncle. The dagga was [allegedly] shared with other grade three pupils,” he said.
Balram said the school was handling the matter.
