Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 53-year-old Zimbabwean national was expected to appear in the Musina Magistrate\u2019s Court in South Africa on Monday. He is accused of possessing explosives.<\/p>\n

The Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation (Hawks) said the man was arrested at the Beitbridge Port of Entry on January 17, 2025. Hawks spokesperson Warrant Officer Lethunya Mmuroa said:<\/p>\n

It is alleged that police stopped and searched a bus that was driven from Zimbabwe to South Africa.<\/p>\n

During the search, the police found a piece of luggage on top of the fuel tank. When inspecting thoroughly, they noticed that the bag carried explosives.<\/p>\n

Mmuroa said bomb technicians from the Hawks\u2019 Serious Organised Crime Investigation and Local Criminal Record Central in Musina were called to the scene. He said:
\nThe luggage was removed from the bus. They found three reels of detonating fuse of 350 meters each inside, valued at over R105,000, and a passport.<\/p>\n

The police managed to identify the suspect through his passport and placed him under arrest.<\/p>\n
