TimesLIVE reports that on Tuesday, police arrested a Zimbabwean man who was caught in Sabie with equipment suspected of being used for illegal mining.
The man was arrested during a Vala Umgodi operation following suspicions of illegal mining activities in the area. His vehicle was loaded with two generators and a jackhammer. After his vehicle was stopped and searched, the man, 34, allegedly tried to bribe police officers and when he realised that was not working, he allegedly assaulted a police officer in an attempt to evade arrest. The suspect is set to appear in the Sabie Magistrate's Court on Thursday where he will face charges of bribery, assault of a police official and resisting arrest.
