By Own Correspondent- Two Zimbabweans were on Friday arrested at Beitbridge for possessing explosives comprising connector cap fuses and cables valued at R250 000.

The pair was caught at about 6:30am by South African Police Services (Saps) officers during a routine search and-patrol operation when the police were drawn by the suspicious-looking big bags the men were carrying, Limpopo Province police spokesman Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said in a media statement.

A search allegedly revealed the connector cap fuses and 900 units of cables with an estimated value of R250 000.

Ngoepe said the two suspects, aged 25 and 30, were expected to appear before the Musina magistrate court soon.-TheStandard
