A man will appear in court this week after being found with an unlicensed firearm at a Worcester roadblock.
Western Cape police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Andre Traut, says the 43-year-old man will appear in the Worcester Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
He was one of seven men arrested at a routine roadblock on the N1 during farmworker protests on Tuesday.
Traut says the suspects were driving in the direction of De Doorns when their vehicle was searched.
A .308 Mauser and 60 rounds of ammunition were found in the vehicle and no one could produce a valid licence for it.
Six of the men were released after an investigation.
AFP reported that the men were suspected to be members of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging, but Traut did not comment on the allegation.
