A Namibian woman named Pauline Mbangula was apprehended in South Africa on Sunday after an airport X-ray screening allegedly detected drugs concealed within her stomach.
It is reported that she was on vacation in Brazil with her Nigerian boyfriend, who persuaded her to transport drugs by ingesting them.
Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, a representative of the South African Police Service (SAPS), informed Namibian Sun that Mbangula had expelled 68 capsules of suspected cocaine by noon the subsequent day.
“She will be taken to the hospital to ensure all capsules have been expelled. She is under close observation and has not been placed in a cell because she needs to eliminate the drugs from her system,” Mathe stated.
Mbangula, aged 30, is stated to have traveled from Luanda to Brazil with her boyfriend, who led her to believe they were embarking on a vacation. Upon their arrival, he convinced her to swallow the drugs.
