CAPE TOWN: South Africa’s police seized two billion rand ($189 million) worth of pure heroin powder alongside industrial manufacturing machines and equipment from a drug lab in KwaZulu Natal province.
Three suspects were arrested and charged with manufacturing drugs in the biggest narcotics lab ever found in the province.
“As we had promised we are reaching the kingpins behind the drug trade in KZN,” Provincial Commissioner Mmamonnye Ngobeni said. “We will continue to expose those that live in the lap of luxury and profit from the misery of ordinary citizens on the ground. Our detectives will continue with this investigation until everyone behind this find is behind bars.”
