The case against young woman who had allegedly ingested about 110 bullets of cocaine was postponed to next week in the Kempton Park magistrate’s court on Tuesday.
Mmantwa Tshabalala, 21, was arrested on September 29 after landing at the OR Tambo international airport from São Paulo in Brazil. She made her first court appearance last week.
Her bail application was delayed as inmates from the Johannesburg correctional services centre, better known as Sun City, arrived in court just an hour before lunch.
State prosecutor Adv Takalani Mukhumo said that the cause of the delay was not communicated with them.
National police spokesperson Brig Athlenda Mathe said at the time that Tshabalala was the 11th drug mule to be arrested in the past three months.
