Alleged drug-syndicate kingpin in custody in East London


 The alleged master-mind of a drug syndicate in East London has handed himself over to the police in the presence of his lawyer.

Police captain Stephen Marais says the 25 year-old Tanzanian will appear in court on Friday.

He already has a previous conviction for dealing in heroin for which he received a two year prison sentence - suspended for 5 years.

The investigation follows an incident in October in which four other Tanzanians were arrested for the possession of dagga worth half a million rands.

Marais says they'll strongly oppose bail at Friday's court proceedings.
