The Government of South Africa has not entered into prisoner exchange agreements with other countries. Therefore, should you be imprisoned, you will have to serve your sentence in the foreign prison until your release. Please note that the South African Government views crimes, particularly those involving abuse of women and children, the traffic in humans, illegal drugs, mercenary activities and traffic in small arms, in a most serious light. Know the country that you are travelling to, read about its laws, rules and regulations and respect them. Possessing or smuggling drugs is a criminal offence in almost all countries.
Penalties are harsh and can lead to a life-time imprisonment or even the death penalty.
