On 2 June 2021, authorities intercepted 805kg of pure cocaine worth an estimated R400 million hidden inside the hull of a ski boat being towed on the N1 near Pretoria.
The drugs were found in the boat’s hull and were being transported on a trailer pulled by a Ford Ranger.
Arrests were made at the time, yet the matter was removed from the court roll.
Serious questions remain:
What happened to the case?
Who were the syndicates behind the shipment?
Were there failures in the investigation or prosecution process?
@SAPoliceService and the @NPA_Prosecutes need to revisit this matter.
South Africa cannot allow major organised crime cases involving hundreds of millions of rands worth of cocaine to simply disappear without accountability.
