In Tuesday’s bust, a South African male about to depart for Dubai was intercepted and taken to the search area where Customs officers scanned his luggage. 

Currency in US dollars, valued at R4 595 344, was found hidden in sweet containers, milk powder tins and soap boxes under clothing. The passenger failed to give a valid reason or produce documentary proof of origin for the currency. The currency was detained and the passenger was arrested for smuggling of currency by SAPS.

  • Illicit cigarettes and tobacco: 45 busts valued at R10 732 767

Some of the other high-profile busts include the following:

The biggest bust of the operation was the discovery of uncut Crystal Methamphetamine (tik) with an estimate value of R30m stashed in fridges on a truck which arrived in Cape Town from Johannesburg. In the same truck, a large amount of suspected counterfeit clothing was also discovered. The truck driver was arrested. The operation, under the auspices of Operation Phakisa, also led to the detection of 177 cases of non-compliance, including possible under-valuation, non-declaration of goods, non-permits for import purposes, illegal transporting of abalone and detention of vehicles.
