Every day a South African is arrested in Brazil for drug trafficking

from PM Live on SAfm · host SABC News and Current Affairs

SAfm — Every day a South African is arrested in Brazil for drug trafficking while one-hundred men have been arrested for the same offence since 2017 in Mauritius. They were travelling via O.R. Tambo International Airport. Anti-drug activists revealed the statistics in Braamfontein during a panel discussion on drug trafficking in Johannesburg. They warn that the number could be higher as drug mules use corrupt officials to smuggle drugs illegally. Meanwhile, close to 50 South Africans are also languishing in Hong Kong prisons for drug smuggling.
