Another drug mule was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport, after an X-ray confirmed the presence of drugs in the stomach of a South African woman (21) on Sunday.
This brings the total to 11 in two months.
The woman was profiled and intercepted after arriving on a flight from São Paulo, Brazil.
Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said: “She was taken to a local hospital where an X-ray confirmed that she had foreign objects in her stomach. She has already released a number of bullets from her body and is in police custody, with police closely monitoring the release of further drug bullets.”
Last week, Namibian drug mule Pauline Mbangula (30) was arrested after arriving from São Paulo with more than 60 drug bullets found in her stomach.
