This one definitely took our airport security for granted 😂 There’s just no way you can just wrap drugs like that without getting busted.
@ndili_
Thinking you can hide drugs on your person post 2001 and successfully pass through airport security is peak stupidity.
@MilitantZizi;
The amount of drug-related crimes I’ve seen recently has been really scary! I think SA is becoming a drug hub of sorts.
@futi_entse;
is our airport security so weak that Ramos didnt even put effort into concealing the drugs and they got him mainly bc police had intelligence on him? 😔
@IronFistBattleT;
It’s now clear that South Africans love drugs otherwise people wouldn’t be risking their lives trafficking drugs into SA.

I’m sure he’s been doing this for years now. You can be this confident entering into another country with such amount of drugs
