The South African Defence Force (SANDF) stopped six vehicles, including Toyota Hilux double-cab bakkies and a Toyota Fortuner, from being smuggled into Mozambique from Mpumalanga this week.

SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said that the 7 South African Infantry Battalion, deployed on the border between South Africa and Mozambique, recovered the vehicles between 11 and 16 December.

Soldiers were conducting routine patrols along the border when they noticed vehicles being driven between the two countries’ borders, often known as No Man’s Land.

“When they stopped the vehicles, the occupants left the cars and ran on foot into the bushes leaving the vehicles behind,” Dlamini said.

“The six recovered vehicles consisting of Toyota Hilux double-cab bakkies and a Toyota Fortuner were handed over to the SA Police Service for further investigation.”

“The value of these cars is yet to be confirmed.”
