The suspect was x-rayed and was found with drugs inside her body.

She's ejected multiple drug bullets so far.

Police say this is the 11th arrest of its kind at OR Tambo Airport in just two months.

The situation is similar to last week's drug bust at the airport.

Then, a Namibian woman was found with 68 bullets of cocaine totalling 850g, which she swallowed.

She was charged with dealing in drugs and drug possession, and appeared in court last Wednesday.
