South African police have uncovered a major crystal meth laboratory on the border with Zimbabwe and rounded up several foreign nationals including two Mexicans, they said Friday.
The overnight operation follows a series of drugs busts involving Mexican nationals over the past months that have led authorities to suspect Latin American cartels are expanding into Africa.
Security forces raided the laboratory late Thursday and seized drugs and equipment worth around 600 million rand ($37 million), they said in a statement.
