The bail application of two men charged with the murder of farm manager, Brendin Horner, has been postponed in the Senekal Magistrate's Court.
Magistrate Deon van Rooyen remanded Sekwetje Mahlamba, and co-accused, Sekola Matlaletsa, in custody.
The matter will continue on Tuesday when state witness and investigating officer, Pieter Myburgh, will testify.
Meanwhile, Police Minister, Bheki Cele, has confirmed speculation on the ground that an arrest has been made with regards to the possession of illegal firearms outside Senekal in the Free State over the last 24 hours.
Cele who addressed media outside the Senekal Magistrate’s Court on Friday said law enforcement authorities conducted roadblocks outside the Free State town beginning on Thursday at 16:00.
He said vehicles were searched and turned away when firearms were found inside the vehicles. He said only one person was arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm, which is in stark contrast to reports on social media alleging a boot full of weapons were found outside the town.
Cele says the picture of a car boot full of weapons doing the rounds on social media is false and has not been verified by any law enforcement officials.
