Police confiscated three truckloads of raw chrome found in their possession suspected to have been smuggled from Zimbabwe.

Lloyd Sithole (32), Moses Nemanganda (37), Wilton Haruzi (34) and Joseph Hlongwane (23) from South Africa have since appeared before a Sekhukhune magistrate court charged with illegal mining.
