A 21-year-old woman, Mmantwa Tshabalala, is set to make a formal bail application at Kempton Park magistrate's court after allegedly ingesting about 110 bullets of cocaine. Tshabalala was arrested on September 29 after landing at OR Tambo international airport from São Paulo, Brazil. She was the 11th drug mule to be arrested in the past three months. At the time of her arrest, it was reported that she had ingested the highest quantity that police at the airport had seen in the past eight years. However, a 43-year-old man who had also been arrested at OR Tambo had passed about 117 drug bullets, each weighing about 10g. The bullets often came with traces of blood, indicating a medical challenge in the stomach. The releasing process has been stopped due to health complications.
