Police in KwaZulu-Natal say investigations are underway following the discovery of cocaine with an estimated value of R80 million concealed inside a container at the Durban Harbour.
Police Spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says police received information about a vessel that left Brazil at the beginning of November, that was said to be carrying cocaine disguised as kidney beans.
Netshiunda says according to the documents they found, the shipment was destined for Johannesburg.
The vessel, which came to South Africa via another country was monitored until Saturday when it docked at the Durban Harbour.
The identified container was taken to a warehouse on South Coast Road in the Bluff area for a proper search.
