SA woman hid cocaine in dreadlocks

Nobanda Nolubabalo was searched when police said they noticed a white substance in her hair shortly after she stepped off a flight at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Police found 1.5 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $150 000 hidden in her dreadlocks.

Nolubabalo Nobanda did not fit the police’s profile of a drug mule. She matriculated from one of SA’s top girl’s schools before heading to Wits University.

But on Tuesday night, 23-year-old Nobanda, who is originally from Grahamstown, was spending her second night in a Thai jail, the institution that is likely to be her home for a long time to come. She is the second South African drug mule to make international headlines this week.
