Four suspects have been arrested in Magaliesburg after police discovered eight AK-47 rifles and seven empty magazines concealed in a white bag during a patrol operation on the R24.
Officers became suspicious after observing two men transferring the bag from a Namibian-registered Volvo truck to a Mazda 2 parked nearby. Upon searching the bag, police found the firearms and immediately arrested the suspects.
The truck driver, a Namibian citizen, apparently stated that he had been given the parcel in Namibia for delivery, while the female owner of the Mazda said she had transported the other suspects to Magaliesburg at the request of her boyfriend.

@EOdileke@Mokone_Dimphoo Your outrage is misplaced and your facts are sloppy. African solidarity against apartheid is documented and respected. Pretending South Africans claim to be angels is a fantasy you made up so you’d have something to yell about. Argue with reality, not your imagination.
