Maputo, 23 May (AIM) – The South African Police, in the Province of Kwazulu-Natal, on Monday arrested two women (aged 49 and 52) for being in possession of cocaine, allegedly couriered from Mozambique.
According to Police spokesperson, Boysie Zungu, cited by the South African press, the drug is valued at six million Rands (311,000 dollars at the current exchange rate) and it was to be distributed in eThekwini, a municipality that includes the city of Durban.

The officers conducted surveillance to confirm the information and a search warrant was obtained and well executed”, the stockperson said. He added that one of the women arrested is a police officer.
