Harding "drug" bust pair n court
The two suspects - a man and a woman - arrested when KZN police clamped down on what they say was a R150 million drug operation this week, have appeared before the Ezingolweni Magistrate's Court.
They were arrested at the farm in Harding, where they had allegedly been operating from.
In what authorities are saying is the biggest single drug bust in the country's history, it is alleged that Mandrax tablets were confiscated along with the equipment used to make them.

The Hawks' Hangwani Mulaudzi says the accused appeared in court yesterday, on charges relating to manufacturing and concealing drugs.
"They've been remanded in custody until next month, when they'll make their second appearance before a magistrate," Mulaudzi says.
Mulaudzi says the pair has opted to enlist private legal representation.
He says in terms of the investigations that they are ongoing and that the Hawks are hoping for another breakthrough soon.
