A 55-year-old man in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga was arrested on Wednesday after he was allegedly found with explosives.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said guards from CSC Tactical Security Company were on duty monitoring CCTV footage at Marelden Estate, when they noticed a group of suspects in balaclavas, believed to be armed, passing the premises.
