The man is in the dock after the Hawks seized pure heroin powder with an estimated street value of R2.3 million this past weekend.
The police had received information about a man who had been distributing heroin in the province.
Crime-fighting units, including members of the Durban Metro Police Drug Team, swooped on his home in Glenwood on Saturday.
