Border management advised to strengthen crime fighting with technology
Policing union Sapu is
urging border management teams to consider using advanced technology to bolster
the fight against drug trafficking.
The call comes after 10 suspected drug mules were arrested at OR Tambo International Airport over the past two months.
On Sunday, a Namibian woman who arrived from Brazil was found with 68 capsules suspected to be filled with cocaine in her stomach.

Sapu's Lesiba Thobagale has praised anti-trafficking teams.
"About the collaboration between the Border Management Authority, SAPS, Immigration and Home Affairs it is indeed welcomed, and we are really proud of the work that they continue to do. So, we are saying that this collaboration needs to continue be strengthened so that all the departments can continue to do their work with more success."
