BEITBRIDGE – In a daring operation, Limpopo police arrested a 48-year-old Zimbabwean man at the Beitbridge Port of Entry on Tuesday for alleged unlawful possession of explosives valued at over R600,000.

The suspect, who was driving a trailer truck from Zimbabwe to South Africa, was stopped by police at the border, where they discovered bags containing suspected explosives after forcibly opening the trailer.

As the investigation unfolded, a thorough search of the truck uncovered 16 reels of detonating fuse explosives, 2182 superpowers and 90 blasting cartridges explosives.
