A 72-year-old man and a woman found in possession of Mandrax with a street value of around R1.2 million appeared in the Kimberley Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The National Prosecuting Authority in the Northern Cape says the matter was postponed to the 8th of September for a formal bail application.
The pair was arrested in Kimberley on Saturday, on a train from Johannesburg en route to Cape Town.
