R8m Meth bust at O.R. Tambo

[Grant]

There’s been another drug bust at OR Tambo International Airport with authorities seizing tik valued at more than R8 million.
A woman travelling from Dubai was arrested after the drugs were found in her luggage.

Authorities said the weight of her suitcase was unusually high despite scans showing only a few items of clothing inside.
Over 26kg of crystal meth was found concealed under the lining of her bag.

Last week, officials discovered R1 million worth of ephedrine concealed inside desk pen holders at the airport.
In a separate incident, about R1 million worth of the narcotics was discovered in a parcel sent from India.

Meanwhile, the South African Revenue Service (Sars) says it’s working to intensify its fight against drug smuggling at all the country's ports of entry amid growing concerns of drug use among young people.
Sars spokesperson Luther Lebelo said, “We are quite excited about these discoveries because they keep confirming Sars’ commitment to ensure that our borders are kept clean."

Its time that the quantity of drugs impounded is rated according to how many people it could kill or how many famalies it could ruin. The Rand value just makes it look profitible

I don't understand why anyone would smuggle tik into South Africa when there are so many manufacturers in the country already. It's like taking coals to Newcastle, or selling ice to Eskimos.

Like who/where?

I have yet to find a tik factory in the Western Cape.

The tik factories are all in Gauteng. The cops bust a lot of people on the N1 near Beaufort West smuggling tik down from Gauteng to Cape Town. They also bust a lot of people at the Cape Town International domestic arrivals terminal smuggling tik from Gauteng on domestic flights.
