Inspector November Filander said the 26-year-old woman was arrested on Wednesday after a tip-off that she would be flying from Johannesburg to Cape Town in the late afternoon.
On searching her luggage, police found 4.5kg of tik hidden in cereal boxes.
In another incident a man was caught for carrying drugs on a bus.
"Police were tipped off about a 25-year-old Somalian national travelling in a luxury bus from Beaufort West towards Bellville on the N1 freeway," Filander said.
Flying squad police pulled off the bus at a petrol station where they positively identified the man they were looking for and searched his suitcases.
An illegal drug kat, valued at R10 000, was found inside one of the suitcases.
These tip-offs. Who makes them? It's not the caring public... it's the competition!
