30-year-old Illegal Immigrant Arrested After Being Found with Stolen Transformer Copper Cables Worth More Than R86,000 in Postmasburg
A 30-year-old male suspect believed to be a foreign national was arrested after he was allegedly caught burning copper cables in Boichoko, near Postmasburg, on Thursday, 11 June 2026. The arrest followed a swift response by SAPS Postmasburg Detectives, assisted by members of the Visible Policing Unit and security officers from a nearby mine.
According to police, detectives were conducting tracing operations at about 13:30 when they received information about six males allegedly burning cables in the area. Officers moved to intercept the group, but the suspects reportedly fled into the veld upon seeing the police. One suspect was successfully apprehended during the operation.
Police recovered and seized bundles of suspected stolen transformer cables with an estimated value of R86,484.20. The arrested suspect faces a charge of possession of suspected stolen property. Authorities said the Department of Home Affairs will determine the suspectโs immigration status while investigations continue.
A manhunt has been launched for the remaining five suspects who escaped. ZF Mgcawu District Commissioner Major General Monica Sebili commended the members involved in the operation and reiterated that the theft, damage, or tampering of essential infrastructure will not be tolerated, adding that those responsible will be brought to book.

โPreliminary investigations revealed that all nine individuals were in possession of fraudulent South African visas purportedly issued by the South African High Commission in New Delhi, India.โ
Nine Bangladeshi nationals were intercepted at O.R. Tambo International Airport on Thursday after attempting to enter South Africa using fraudulent South African visas and fake Indian passports.
According to the Border Management Authority, immigration officials detected irregularities during processing and discovered the visas were allegedly issued fraudulently through the South African High Commission in New Delhi.
Three women travelled on Bangladeshi passports, while six men initially presented fake Indian passports before later producing Bangladeshi passports.
All nine were denied entry and arrangements were made for their deportation back to Bangladesh.
BMA Commissioner Michael Masiapato praised officials for the interception, saying it highlights both the growing sophistication of international document fraud syndicates and the importance of strong border security. Investigations are continuing into the origin of the fraudulent documents and possible links to transnational criminal networks.
