According to Limpopo Hawks spokesperson, Captain Matimba Maluleke, the two suspects, aged 30 and 24-year-old, appeared in the Makhado Magistrate Court on Monday where their case was postponed to 15 January 2018 pending further investigations.
“The two suspects were caught driving a stolen vehicle on the N1 road between Makhado and Musina whilst en route to Beitbridge,” Maluleke explained.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the vehicle (a Toyota Forturner) was reported stolen at Wayville in KwaZulu Natal in December 2017.
“It was also found that the same vehicle had false registration plates and licence disc,” he concluded.
