Nelspruit | The Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela has applauded members for their resilience in fighting crime, specifically in tackling the proliferation of fi****ms.

Reports indicate that members of the Mpumalanga Provincial Tracing Team were busy with their probe of a certain criminal case whereby information was gathered regarding a firearm and ammunition. The details were then followed and the investigation led the members into a house at Phola. Upon their arrival, they found a female and then conducted a search inside the house where a 9mm pistol with ammunition was discovered. The lady was not in possession of a licence for the firearm hence she was arrested and charged accordingly.
