Durban set to become major drug centre - SA
West African drug syndicates are running amok in Durban's Point area and last year alone the area saw an estimated R1,4-billion change hands in narcotics deals, according to a senior criminal investigator.

Said Detective Inspector Barney Dreyer, addressing a breakfast seminar on Thursday, Turning the Tide on Crime, hosted by the Independent Projects Trust: "If we don't do something about the West African threat, we won't have a country left and Obassanjo will be our president."

Dreyer quoted British police who have remarked that Durban will become the next and main global drug distribution point in the world.
