'An array of steroids in the form of tablets for oral intake and liquid intended to be consumed intravenously was being manufactured on this farm.'

The team confiscated large amounts of finished products as well as chemicals, machines including a tablet presser, a mixer, a tablet-coating machine , two pistols, of which one is unlicensed, and a loaded shotgun along with several rounds of ammunition.

Police said in a statement:"The conditions under which the steroids were being manufactured was uncontrolled, unconducive and could potentially, if not already, be a health risk to those in the area of the operation as well as those consuming the products.

The national police commissioner, speaking from the crime scene on Thursday morning, said:"It goes directly against government's initiatives for rural developments when a property intended for farming is used to produce illicit substances." This seems to be a growing modus operandi after police also detected a similar multi-million rand mandrax laboratory in Harding a few months ago.They may be left poorer, following the police raid.

General Sitole said:"I have tasked the investigation team to engage the Asset Forfeiture Unit in an effort to seize all property to the state in terms of the Proceeds of Crime Act ."
