Two suspected drug mules arrested at the Cape Town International Airport within 24 hours are expected to make a first appearance in the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Friday morning.
Acting on intelligence, authorities intercepted a 35-year-old man as he arrived from Doha on Wednesday.
The man was carrying about five kilograms of a substance suspected to be cocaine in his check-in luggage, worth more than R2 million.
Hawks spokesperson, Zinzi Hani, said that further surveillance was conducted and the courier, collecting the mule, was also identified and arrested.
