Disgraced former Komatipoort policeman, alleged rhino poaching kingpin and murder accused Joseph Nyalungu was once again arrested in Hazyview this afternoon, October 15.
This time, the man colloquially known as ‘Big Joe’ was caught with explosives commonly used in the commission of cash-in-transit heists.
The operation in which the SAPS’s elite National Intervention Unit pounced on Nyalungu’s workshop follows a meticulous investigation by the Hawks.
It is understood Nyalungu was found in possession of two sticks of dynamite, two detonators, two chords and three rounds of 458 ammunition.
Nyalungu will spend the night behind bars before appearing in the Calcutta Magistrate’s Court tomorrow morning.
He is no stranger to the inside of a courtroom as he currently faces a raft of charges in a series of court cases relating to rhino poaching, murder, racketeering, theft, tax evasion, money laundering, corruption and other charges.
