The bail application for alleged meth (tik) 'cook' Kingsley Obi Udeobi, 31, has been postponed to November 15 for further evidence.
Udeobi, 31, appeared before East London bail court magistrate Robin Taylor this morning where his formal bail application was heard.
He was arrested earlier last week by members of the Hawks after he was allegedly found with 105kg of processed and unprocessed drugs worth R70-million in a Belgravia flat.
The investigating officer on the case Captain Raymond Buys that Udeobi was in the country illegally when his fingerprints taken by police at the time of his arrest allegedly did not match those found in the accused's asylum papers.
However Udeobi's lawyer Neil Ristow was adamant that he was in the country legally and that he would submit a written affidavit to support his argument.
The case was postponed for Ristow to submit the affidavit. Udeobi was remanded in custody.
