Captain Leonard Hlathi said provisional commissioner Rex Machabi had given the police unit 30 days - from July 3 - to recover the drugs or else they would be fired.
The drugs, worth more than R3,5million, were allegedly transported across the Lebombo border by a 35-year-old suspect whose court case was remanded in the Komatipoort periodical court yesterday - to July 28.
He was arrested on June 25 for being found in possession of 75000 mandrax tablets. - Sapa
