“South African police have uprooted several cannabis plants growing near President Cyril Ramaphosa's office in Pretoria.
They belonged to activists from the indigenous Khoisan community, some of whom have camped in the area for three years.
Their leader, who calls himself King Khoisan, clung on to a large cannabis plant as police dragged him away.”
While this is not a story only about cannabis because “the group set up camp on the green space outside the president's office, near a giant statue of Nelson Mandela, to campaign for the official recognition of their language.” However, the police have used the cannabis to persecute them. I guess the fight in SA still has a long way to go . . .
