Hawks spokesperson Brig Nomthandazo Mbambo said no arrests have been made at this stage, pending an investigation into the seizure.
“The team received information about the MSC vessel sailing from South America to SA transporting containers with wooden floor boards and cocaine concealed within the consignment. On arrival, the container was searched,” said Mbambo. She said large black sports bags were discovered between the boards, each containing bricks of cocaine.
Hawks' national head Lt-Gen Godfrey Lebeya said: “I appreciate the efforts by members to disrupt the supply of drugs.
I'm not saying much 240m it's a lot of rands I mean think about it who wouldn't be tempted?
It's not a recovery of drugs but a collection of consignment which will disappear from their storage as usual.
With no arrest made; the ship must've had nobody on board. Either that, or corruption took place as usual
The hawks are traficking this for the suppliers it seems.
Chances are it is flour!
