Mpumalanga police arrested a man for being in the possession of two rhino horns.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Selvy Mohlala, said 27-year-old, Ntsako Letswele, appeared in court on Friday.
He said Letswele was arrested on Thursday while travelling on the R-534 Wakkerstroom Road following a tip-off that a person was transporting some rhino horns.
“The information was then followed by the members and the vehicle was spotted as it approached Piet Retief CBD where it was brought to a halt,” Mohlala said.
He said after searching the vehicle, the rhino horns were wrapped in plastic under the bonnet of the car.
Mohlala said the case against Letswele was postponed to next Tuesday.
