Two years ago, Mandrax mastermind Vijaygiri “Vicky” Goswami sang about South Africa’s drug trade in a US court, his words linking this country to a thick, sprawling web of international crime.
He detailed how he – together with two brothers from Kenya – had organised that masses of the chemicals used to make Mandrax ended up in South Africa.But now, seven years after this case started developing, it is still not clear who exactly faces prosecution and whether anyone from South Africa is on the radar of American or local authorities.
Of those four, only the Akashas have been sentenced in the US, with Baktash Akasha unsuccessful in his attempt to appeal his sentence up until the end of June this year. A transcript of Goswami’s testimony from US court proceedings held on 25 July 2019, shows that the words “South Africa” were recorded 79 times.
In the mid-1990s, he ended up in Dubai where he was jailed for 15 and a half years for manufacturing Mandrax in the United Arab Emirates . After Goswami was released from jail in the UAE in 2012, he made his way to Kenya. This is where he and the two Akasha brothers, Baktash and Ibrahim, started working together.While in Kenya, Goswami was linked to several crimes in South Africa, some of which he denied and others that he confirmed, according to his US testimony and cross-examination.The assassination of someone identified only as Muktar in Cape Town in 2016.
“They used some of the drug proceeds to bribe Kenyan officials – including judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers – in an effort to avoid extradition to face the charges against them in the US.” Enter Muhammad Asif Hafeez, originally from Pakistan and said to be one of the top drug traffickers in the world.

If memory serves I think a minister's wife was involved in this so no chance of anything being done here. Just like Steinhoff. People in Germany will go to jail but nobody here.
