DURBAN: A South African police officer has been arrested in Hong Kong for allegedly trafficking drugs, officials said here the other day.
Sergeant Busisiwe Zungu was arrested at Hong Kong International Airport. Zungu’s arrest came as a shock to her family and friends who described her as a law-abiding citizen who “was very proud of her clean record”.
Her police partner also described her as a hard worker.
Zungu has been suspended from the Saps who are also conducting their own investigation into the alleged trafficking.
Patricia Gerber, head of Locked Up, an organisation that assists South Africans arrested overseas for drug smuggling, says China unfortunately has the death penalty for drug-related offences.
