The entire crew of a South African Airways flight has been arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling - for the second time in a month.

Fifteen members of the flight crew, including the pilot, were detained yesterday at Heathrow airport after customs officers found five kilos of cocaine in a bag.

She is Zimbabwean. Another country altogether. And far worse than SA. Chelsey’s father has decades of illegal dealing behind him.

Your comment about Chelsea’s papa is interesting.
I’m not too familiar with the South African landscape
either but I’m not surprised.
Somewhere I read an article about Margaret Thatcher’s son who’s been in a heap o’trouble but better yet,
OldMags has property somewhere in SA among the rich,famous,
and semi-royalty otherwise-gave me the impression when OldMags went on vaccy she was sipping her fav and looking at the SA sunset commenting “what a beautiful sunset”,or some such nonsense from chaise lounge.
