A Cape Town man allegedly in possession of R38-million worth of heroin has been arrested in Mpumalanga.Hawks spokesman Major Robert Netshiunda said yesterday that almost all the drugs dealers arrested in that province were foreigners or locals."We are going to investigate if this is the start of a syndicate or whether he . was working alone," said Netshiunda. "We know that drugs dealing is a crime in which there are many players."The arrest of a Cape Town man in Mpumalanga is unusual."Acting on information about a "suspicious vehicle" travelling through the Oshoek border post with Swaziland, members of the Middelburg and Secunda Hawks, and Ermelo Crime Intelligence officers, arrested the 33-year-old man on Wednesday."We are investigating where he was coming from and the origin of the drugs. But since the drugs got into the country via Oshoek we suspect he entered the country from Swaziland," said Netshiunda.The man was due to appear in the Middleburg Magistrate's Court yesterday.Seven KwaZulu-Natal men, aged from 22 to 55, will appear in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court today after the Hawks swooped on them while they were allegedly packaging heroin valued at R225 000 in Savannah Park, near Marianhill.On Tuesday, Mozambican Ibraimo Candeiro, 42, appeared in the Ermelo Magistrate's Court after being arrested with heroin valued at R52-million at Chrissiesmeer, in Mpumalanga, on Sunday.Netshiunda said the recent drug busts were a result of the Hawks stepping up investigations in co-operation with Crime Intelligence "to have ears and eyes on the ground"."If we are to win the war against organised crime, especially drugs, we need to have people in the right places to give us information. With [the recent] R52-million drugs bust in Mpumalanga we knew people were coming that way."..
