A SWAZILAND chief allegedly caught growing a dagga field has got off scot-free because the kingdom has not completed the codification of Swazi law and custom. At the moment, traditional law allows chiefs to grow dagga in Swaziland for personal and medicinal use, but not for commercial use. Chief Cetjwako Mndzebele’s plantation was discovered by accident during a police search for stolen royal cattle last week. Police said the fields, which would take three weeks to burn, would not be destroyed. – African Eye News Service
