Four suspects allegedly involved in ongoing marches against illegal foreigners have been arrested after police found them in possession of three firearms and 159 rounds of ammunition in Muden, KwaZulu-Natal.
The suspects, aged between 19 and 35, were arrested during an intelligence-driven operation in the early hours of Thursday, 29 October 2026.
National Crime Intelligence officers had reportedly received information that the four individuals, who were actively involved in the marches, were allegedly linked to criminal activities, including cash-in-transit robberies.
A multidisciplinary team from the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Task Team followed up on the intelligence and raided a residence in Muden.
Police recovered an AK-47 assault rifle, two handguns and 159 rounds of ammunition.
The firearms will undergo ballistic testing to establish whether they may have been used in crimes committed in KwaZulu-Natal or elsewhere in the country.
The four suspects are expected to appear in the Greytown Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 30 October, facing charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
