A drug bust happened earlier this week when police officers pounced on a traveller at the Cape Town International Airport, carrying cocaine worth over R2.5 million.
Just before noon on Tuesday, officers were sent to profile and search individuals getting off of an international flight out of Dubai.
They were able to find four kilograms of cocaine concealed in the traveller’s luggage and wrapped in chocolate.
