Two foreigners to appear today after R70 million drug bust in NW

Two foreign nationals, one from Tanzania and the other from Zambia, are expected to appear in the Zeerust Magistrate's court this morning after they were found with drugs worth R70 million.

The suspects were arrested at the Kopfontein border post in Zeerust yesterday, after the drugs were found in their truck.

Sandile Memela, spokesperson for the SA Revenue Service, says this is one of the biggest consignments of drugs seized this year.
