Two men remain in custody in Gauteng after being found with gold valued at approximately R15 million.
Hawks’ spokesperson, Captain Lloyd Ramovha, said Joacham Chivayo (33) of Zimbabwe and South African, Ayanda Gungwa (20), were arrested at Helderwyk Estate in Brakpan on Tuesday.
He said the investigating team “executed a meticulously planned operation”, leading to the arrest of the two who were found in possession of six bars of unwrought gold, as they were attempting to find a buyer.
Ramovha said the two made their first court appearance on Wednesday and remain in custody.
“Further investigations are underway to trace the origin of the gold and to identify any additional suspects involved in this illegal trade,” he said.
