Johannesburg - An Eastern Cape woman is desperately seeking information about her daughter, who was arrested for smuggling drugs in Thailand in December.

Nolubabalo Nobanda allegedly tried to smuggle cocaine in her fake dreadlocks, reported Eyewitness News.

Her mother, Honjiswa Mbewu, said she had not heard from her daughter since her arrest.
