DURBAN police have arrested two Johannesburg businessmen in connection with a consignment of 11,5 tons of hashish with a potential street value of more than R1bn, which was intercepted in October. The men, aged 33 and 24, were arrested after the discovery of the hashish in a container at Durban harbour on October 21. The consignment, apparently from Pakistan, was destined for Canada. Police believe the find could be linked to a consignment of five tons of hashish confiscated by Canadian police on a ship from South Africa a week earlier. – AFP
