KwaZulu-Natal police seized pure cocaine valued at over R80 million, hidden inside a container at Durban Harbour on Monday, December 2.

Police received information about a vessel which left Brazil at the beginning on November and was carrying pure cocaine which was disguised as kidney beans.

The vessel, which came to South Africa via another country, was monitored until Saturday, 30 November when it docked at the Durban Harbour.

The identified container was taken to a warehouse on South Coast Road in the Bluff area for a proper search.

During the search, eight bags of crushed pure cocaine were found and according to the documentation, the shipment was destined for Johannesburg.

Investigations are underway to uncover those people behind the drugs.
