9 June 2026 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) working with the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) secured the seizure of 30 bricks of cocaine at the Port of Durban.
Today’s interception on the KwaZulu-Natal coast follows closely on the heels of another major seizure just three days earlier, where about 90 kg of cocaine concealed in excavators from Brazil was intercepted at the same port. These operations point to intensified efforts by organised crime syndicates to move narcotics through South Africa’s trade gateways, matched by a coordinated and firm response from law enforcement.
