Two men were arrested on Friday after being found with explosives on the N1, between Musina and Beitbridge, Limpopo police said.
The Beitbridge task team stopped the men’s blue Toyota Corolla and searched it.
They found four bags in the boot of the car, containing 247 blasting cartridges, 1 250 connector capped fuses, and seven reels of detonating cords.
“The suspects were immediately apprehended on the spot and the explosives, as well as the motor vehicle, confiscated,” said Lieutenant Colonel Malasela Ledwaba.
He said they were investigating the origin of the explosives, and where they were headed.
They are scheduled to appear at the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
The Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has commended the members involved for their commitment to eradicate criminal activities.
