Cape Town Drug Bust Shocks Locals | Johannesburg News
Description
In a massive bust in Bothasig, Cape Town, cops uncovered a staggering ten million rand worth of drugs and an arsenal including seven handguns and over a thousand rounds. The arrest of 29-year-old Gideon Alard, who allegedly hinted at the scale of the stash, has sparked a high-stakes legal battle. Granted bail last Thursday with a hefty 150k rand bond and strict conditions — daily police check-ins and witness restrictions — Alard’s defense claims innocence and aims to prove his case. The trial is now pushed back to October 23, 2026, as authorities continue their investigation.
