Title:

Disguised as coffee beans, stuffed in a geyser: How smugglers hid rhino horns at OR Tambo

Author(s):
van der Merwe M
Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

More than 30kg of rhino horn was seized from a female passenger at OR Tambo International Airport after customs officials received a tip-off. But this is by far not the biggest haul - one delivery headed for Malaysia was just shy of 170kg. SARS says more 450kg of rhino horn has been seized from would-be smugglers at OR Tambo alone since mid-2020.
