Police Minister Senzo Mchunu
KEMPTON PARK – Mmantwa Tshabalala is the 11th suspected drug mule to be arrested at OR Tambo International Airport in the past two months.
In September a Namibian and a Nigerian national were apprehended.
Tshabalala arrived on a flight from Sao Paulo Brazil.
She was taken for X-rays that revealed multiple foreign objects in her colon and her rectum.
The 21-year-old released more than 110 drug bullets suspected to be cocaine with an estimated value of nearly R600,000.
Tshabalala made her first appearance in the Kempton Park Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The matter has been postponed for further investigations.
While investigations continue Tshabalala remains behind bars and will be back in court on 8 October for a formal bail application.
eNCA senior reporter Silindelo Masikane has more details in the video above.
