Kimberly
In March, Kimberley residents chased away two foreign shop owners out of the city, after searching their shops and allegedly finding drugs and a large sum of cash stashed in a safe.
The raids were conducted following a tip-off that some of the food outlets around town are being used as a front for drug peddling.
