They were transporting the drugs from a storage facility in Cape Town.
The duo aged 44 and 41 will appear in the Philippi magistrate’s court on drug dealing charges on Wednesday.
According to Hawks spokesperson Zinzi Hani, the two were nabbed after the police received a tip-off that illegal drugs were being stored in the facility.
One of the suspects was apprehended in the act, he was busy loading three boxes into his vehicle.
“A search was conducted on his vehicle and compressed dagga was found in the three boxes,” said Hani.
