SAA personnel and drugs

Johannesburg - South African Airways was struggling to control a rise in drug smuggling by its own staff, the Star newspaper reported on Saturday.

This came in the wake of three stewards being arrested in the past seven months for smuggling dagga and cocaine.

SAA spokesperson Jacqui O'Sullivan said in a statement released on Friday that the airline condemned such behaviour.

The airline was however adamant that it was an international problem.

In the latest incident, a 40-year-old stewardess, Lindiwe Luthuli, was arrested and pleaded guilty to smuggling about 5kg of cocaine and 10kg of dagga into the United Kingdom. She is expected to be sentenced in May.

Another SAA female crew member was arrested in January on suspicion of smuggling cocaine into the UK.

Latest comment in South Africa

Thami says... DA needs to change a couple of these before the win over more support: 1. change the look of the western cape parliament to be more representative 2. consider recruiting some strong black men and make the prominent in leadership. Before you bite my head off, my reasoning is the 1st point will likely win them more black votes because that parliament worries a few black people. As for the second point, DA exists in Africa and in Africa it is still very hard for us to accept a woman as a head of the household let alone a nation. And please, please white people stop saying or doing things that can be conceived as racist (even if you believe you are correct), things like the "SPEAR" because these will send even some of the black people already voting for DA back to ANC.
