A convicted drug kingpin has been arrested on the South Africa/Swaziland border.

Members of the Hawks arrested seventy-two-year-old Bra Solly Motsepe at the Oshoek border post on Thursday after he violated his parole conditions.

The convicted drug-lord was first arrested in the 1990s.

He escaped from prison last year after he was apparently behind the fraudulent cleaning of his records at the department of Correctional Services.

Motsepe will be held in a correctional facility until he has completed the rest of his sentence which ends in 2017.
