A priest has been arrested for possession of dagga with an estimated street value of R2500 near Mthatha in the Eastern Cape, police said.

Police, acting on a tip-off, searched the house of the 26-year-old man in Bongweni on Saturday night, Lt-Col Mzukisi Fatyela said.

They found 2,5kg of dagga inside his house, he said.

It was not immediately clear if the priest was dealing in dagga or using it, Fatyela said.

He was expected to face a charge of dagga possession in the Mthatha Magistrate's Court on Monday. - Sapa
