Ledwaba said the information was immediately operationalised, and a sting operation was conducted at the said dam.

“The suspect was found sitting in a white Nissan Almera sedan. Police requested to search his motor vehicle and found 500 balls of heroin with an estimated street value of R20 000 concealed inside the dashboard.

“The operation continued, and his countryman aged 44 was nabbed along the N1 north next to Botlokwa just after he allegedly received the Heroine drugs from the first suspect at Flora Park dam meant for further distribution,” the spokesperson said.

The two suspects will appear before the Polokwane and Botlokwa Magistrate’s court on Monday, 20 February 2023, facing charges of possession and drug dealing.-The South African

Unbelievable,” he said. “You deserve so much more than a ‘yes,’ and to be here, you deserve a ‘thank you.’ Thank you so much.” RELATED: Singing Kids, Spoken Word Poets — Every One of Howie Mandel's Golden Buzzers on AGT When asked by Cowell, one of the members, Zoe — speaking on behalf of the Mzansi Youth Choir — said they chose to sing Nightbirde’s song because they were “inspired and touched” after watching her Season 16 Audition on the same AGT stage. Zoe said they were moved enough to record their own version of “It’s OK,” which – to their surprise — prompted a response from Nightbirde, who “responded so beautifully.” The anthem then became a “pillar of strength” as the choir continued through their own difficult times. “We just want to continue her legacy, and that’s why we chose this song,” said Zoe. But most visibly moved by the performance was Cowell, who said to those around him, “This brought back so many memories for me.” Audiences and Crews clapped as Cowell wrestled with his emotions. Vergara rubbed his shoulder to support Cowell as he began to cry, getting choked up while speaking.

With spectators chanting “Golden Buzzer,” Crews came from backstage and joined the Judges as, together, they pressed the Golden Buzzer in Nightbirde’s memory. The Mzansi Youth Choir cheered and embraced as is rained gold confetti, with Crews loudly proclaiming, “You have just received the Golden Buzzer from the fifth Judge, the AGT audience!” The Judges joined the group onstage, sharing their heartfelt appreciation for the song, as members of the Mzansi Youth Choir shaped their hands into hearts, spreading love to the world. The epic victory comes just months after Nightbirde’s family and the Nightbirde Foundation released her posthumous debut album, which continues to inspire millions.
