Law enforcement agencies have raided suspected firearm training facility in Modimolle.
Several firearms and ammunition were seized during the raid, conducted by the Hawks and other law enforcement agencies after they received a tip-off.
“During the operation, the team seized licensed rifles, pistol, and ammunition believed to be used during training. The purpose of the training is not yet clear, but the military-related training cannot be ruled out,” said Hawks spokesperson Lethunya Mmuroa.
“The manner in which firearms and ammunition landed at the farm is still under investigation. No one was arrested.”
The Limpopo facility was discovered just a few weeks after police uncovered a military training base in White River, Mpumalanga.
The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority on Wednesday confirmed that the military training camp in was operating illegally.
Ninety-five Libyan nationals were arrested at the camp.
