Mboweni calls for legalisation of cannabis for tax purposes - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

He made the announcement on Twitter, saying he would put the idea to cabinet. His office declined to further comment on the matter.“I will put the proposal to the Cabinet Lekgotla this January. The people have demanded it!”.

The minister tweeted a photograph of the plant saying he found it growing on his farm and wondered how it got there.In a subsequent tweet he says a neighbour found the plant growing on his land too “The economy of Lusikisiki and Tzaneen is waiting for legal growth of the stuff!! R4bn plus!! Tax money!!”

Despite a recent Constitutional Court decision that permits home use and cultivation, the sale of cannabis on any scale remains illegal.I found this growing at the Farm! Cut it down or allow it to grow? How did it get here? Should we just legalize this thing once and for all? I can see the responses!! Say it!!

Just like the street sellers paying tax hey, backstreet sales of the weed will still take place.

Yoooh!!!

That's reckless

Missed it? Yeah we were stoned at the time... He's either drunk or being foolhardy as everyone knows when it comes to the ANC they ruin everything they touch with their shameful need for greed...

FREE THE HERB IT SHOULD NOT BE TAXED IF PEOPLE USE THE HERB WISELY IT WOULD EASE PRESSURE FOR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE WOULD BE MORE BED SPACE AT HOSPITALS

FINALLY SOMEONE EPALAMENTE HAS WOKEN UP while everyone else still asleep U know even Levi Jeans are made out of HEMP that's why they HAVE BETTER QUALITY THANK U FOR BEING AWAKE MR MBOWENI

I really love this Minister. If the sale is legalized, it would be a brilliant initiative, at least there will be a decrease in unnecessary blames. You sell cannabis, you pay taxes that's it, and it will be a lucrative domain as long as there is a high demand.

Am not moved by the stunce abt to be taken as africans our minds are deprived of a true purpose of thinking hence we wanna implement such eg Zimbabwean government wants to implement a law to pay usage of the sun through solar panels. Even nature you still want to tax it😂
