Zim Man Nabbed Smuggling Deadly Explosives Into SA
South African customs officers have reportedly seized explosives at the Beitbridge border post from a male driver travelling from neighboring Zimbabwe.
This follows the wake of deadly bombing raids conducted by criminals in South Africa against cash transit vans and cash machines.
According to reports, South African Police Services and its bomb squad were immediately called to identify the explosives.
Spokesperson Sicelo Mkosi said on July 19, a panel van travelling from Zimbabwe to South Africa was intercepted for a random search.
“Custom officer found 300 units of suspected cables of explosives valued at approximately R75 000 and the driver claimed to not know who the owner was,” Mkosi said.
