Jackline Richard, who stays in South Africa, was not asked to plead
when she appeared before Harare magistrate Donald Ndirowei yesterday.
She was remanded in custody to July 27.
Richard
was allegedly found in possession of 15kg of ephedrine which stimulates
the heart and nervous system. It is often found in herbal and diet
pills.
The State alleged that Richard arrived at Harare International Airport aboard an Emirates flight from India.
The
alleged drug pusher produced her passport at the immigration desk at
the airport where an alert officer tipped CID Drugs detectives that
Richard had a visa for India which is a known source for illicit drugs.
The
court heard that Richard was taken for interviewing and during a search
conducted on her by detectives they recovered 30 khaki envelopes
containing a whitish substance which was wrapped with fabric sheets
inside a maroon bag.
Tests were conducted on the substance and revealed that it was ephedrine. The drug was then taken for recording and weighing.
