A farm worker has found a stockpile of ammunition in an open veld in the North West while looking for prickly pears. The ammo appears to be of military origin, although ballistic tests are still to be conducted.

According to a police official, the ammunition, which includes 44 R5 rounds, 58 R1 rounds, three 9mm rounds, two R5 magazines and 28 weapon-mounted launchers, appears to be of military origin, although ballistic tests are still to be conducted.

City Press’ sister publication Rapport last week reported that the head of military intelligence had instructed all army units throughout the country to conduct urgent audits of their arsenals. The find in North West, on a farm near Valleifontein, close to Mahikeng, appears to have been buried for some time before being discovered by 39-year-old Shimane Moremede on Wednesday.
