The investigation regarding this case is continuing and at this stage. Police say they cannot rule out the possibility that the arrested suspects could have been involved in some kind of illegal mining activities.
The six suspects are expected to appear in the Barberton Magistrate’s Court soon, facing charges of illegal possession of explosives whilst others faced with Contravention of the Immigration Act of South Africa.
