14 Men were found by police living in a house which they raided for drugs.
According to police, a huge amount of drugs were confiscated and charges laid against the lessee of the property for drug dealing.
The drugs seized included CaT, LSD, Tik, Ecstacy and dagga according to a police spokesperson.
The men living in the house were all aged between 20 and 25 except for the 28 year old lessee. All now face the prospect of drug charges.
The interesting thing about this story is the spin of the story. 14 people living in a house would usually be indicative of poverty. The discovery of drugs however, suddenly moves the story into the realm of a situation that was caused by the drugs. Even if that wasn’t the situation, the media is still content to give that impression for the sake of a good story.
If it is left to the press, we probably won’t ever know the true situation in this case.
