Last week, 58-year-old Hamukwaya Eliakim appeared at the Strand Magistrates Court facing a charge of illegal diamond dealing.
Eliakim was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly swallowed diamonds when he was approached by officers during a sting operation.
The Hawks' Philani Nkwalase says: “The Hawks Serious Organised Crime Investigating Unit arrested Eliakim on 2 April 2019 after he allegedly swallowed diamond pieces after he was approached during a disruptive sting operation.”
