TWO SOUTH AFRICANS CAUGHT WITH DRUG IN HONG KONG by VICTORCIZA(op):
Two SAA flight attendants have been arrested after allegedly smuggling R45 million worth of drugs into Chin - In a strange twist, the pair were busted on two separate occasions on different flights in September - The attendants are facing the possibility of life imprisonment in light of the nation's harsh anti-drug law. News24 reports that a spokesperson for the airline has confirmed the incident that saw a man and a woman nabbed on suspicions of drug trafficking: "The two employees were part of the crew on two separate SAA flights that operated from Johannesburg to Hong Kong. The flights landed in Hong Kong on September 22 and 24. In the incident involving the first flight, a crew member was initially detained for questioning on September 23, while in the second incident a crew member was arrested on arrival on September 24.

Drug issue is a global problem but some SA citizens seems to make it solely a Nigeria problem

SAA declined to comment on the details of the arrests as
the case is part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
“SAA has informed the families of the employees
concerned about the situation. In addition, the South
African consulate-general in Hong Kong has been notified
and is facilitating a process to secure legal representation
for the two employees,” Tlali said.
“The airline is aware that no finding of criminal involvement
has been made by the courts concerning the arrests and it
will observe the due process of the law, taking into
account the rights of the employees concerned.
“SAA would equally like to emphasise that the airline
remains intolerant of any criminality by any of its
employees. The course of action the company may pursue
will be informed by its policies and the outcome of the
cases.”
Department of International Relations and Cooperation
(Dirco) spokesperson Lunga Ngqengelele said: “Yes, Dirco
is aware of the arrest and detention of two SAA flight
attendants in Hong Kong. The South African consulate-
general in Hong Kong is rendering the necessary consular
assistance and Dirco is also in contact with their families
in South Africa. Due to consular privacy, the department is
not in a position to release their names or any further
details.”
