A Cape Town family who run a funeral company has pleaded with the South African government for assistance after an undertaker transporting bodies has been detained in Mozambique on suspicion of being a drug mule.
The Mozambique police have accused Patrick Lunguza, 53, of hiding the drugs inside the five bodies he was transporting to Malawi. He also faces additional charges of assisting illegal immigrants as four family members of the deceased, travelling with him, had expired passports. Lunguza, from Hillview and an undertaker for more than 25 years, has been detained at a police station in Tete, Mozambique, since February 24.
