The SOUTH African Revenue Service (SARS) is working with Klebe, they found 30 bags of unmixed cocaine in the port of Durban.
This seizure of drugs worth millions of rands happened on Tuesday, and they were found in a container that was coming from South America. As it happened, more than a week later, more drugs were found. Last week, some 90kg of cocaine was found in a container from Brazil.
This has led the law enforcement agencies to warn that they will not allow organized crime to make South Africa a platform to run their rackets.
In a statement issued jointly by SARS and Klebe, these organizations said they will strengthen their campaigns to prevent South Africa from becoming a place for drug distribution by organized crime masterminds.
“This seizure of drugs is the result of the cooperation of SARS and other law enforcement agencies in this country and around the world to prevent organized crime in every way. Due to intelligence reporting, we were able to see the ship from South America, and when it arrived at the port of Durban, it was inspected,” said the statement.
It is said that the container in which the drugs were found was hidden in the hull of an underwater ship.
It is said that this has led to the inspection of all the hulls of the ship.
The SARS Commissioner, Dr Johnstone Makhubu, said drugs destroy families.
He emphasized that the borders of South Africa are not a platform for the distribution of drugs, so those who think this will point to a house with alcohol.
