Where South Africa Gets its Cocaine Supply


Cocaine HCL or powder reaches the shores of South Africa from Europe and South America. Most of the delivery transactions are done through air couriers, with providers and their backers slowly infiltrating airports and air command. If not, there are different means of smuggling cocaine into South Africa. These smuggling operations have earned the attention of public and private groups that aim to rid South Africa of cocaine addiction. Concerned parties are aware that the first step of cocaine rehab involves cutting off the addicts’ supply of this harmful drug. For this reason, authorities have imposed more stringent measures for possible air-smuggling routes.
