Acsa slams chaplain's claim on a rise in drug trafficking cases via OR Tambo airport | Cape Times

Cape Town – The Airports Company of SA has slammed chaplain John Wotherspoon’s suggestion that there has been a rise in drug trafficking cases via OR Tambo International Airport.

“The relevant agencies responsible for detecting and preventing drug trafficking and trade in illicit goods as set out in legislation and regulations are aware of the report, and are attending to the matter. “Our mandate and responsibility is to safeguard civil aviation against unlawful interference,” Maloka said.

In a statement this week, Wotherspoon claimed that 20% of all people arrested at Hong Kong International Airport in 2018 and 2019 for the possession of illegal substances had brought drugs from Johannesburg.

CapeTimesSA Now if only Acsa valued its reputation enough to crack down on the thefts from checked-in luggage that happens on its watch. I travel with hand luggage only to avoid being patronised afterwards with “we’ll pay the standard $20 per KILOGRAM for your stolen valuable”

CapeTimesSA Instead of slamming...investigate mos..mxm

CapeTimesSA ACSA cant even protect your baggage. They blame ground handlers. They very fast to discount this allegation. I'm inclined to agree with the Pastor. ACSA cant boast a good record when it comes to airside security
