The National Commissioner of SAPS, General Fannie Masemola, welcomed the arrest and warned those involved in transnational organised crime that South Africa is no playground for these syndicates who are involved in the trafficking of drugs. “Our members throughout the country remain vigilant and ready to intercept these drug traffickers. It’s been a progressive two weeks for SAPS in so far as intercepting large quantities of drugs. R252 million worth of cocaine was seized in Western Cape, a Russian national was among those arrested. A drug lab worth R2 billion was shutdown in Limpopo andin that case. We are hard at work and we are leaving nothing to chance. South Africa is not a playground for these syndicates.
The drug mule is expected to appear before the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court this week on a charge of drug trafficking.South Africa police discover 90 Ethiopians locked in Johannesburg house
