Police in the Limpopo Province of South Africa has refuted assertions made by police in Mpumalanga over the arrest of two Zimbabwean men who were arrested while allegedly driving a vehicle belonging to the SAPS.

IOL cites Limpopo SAPS spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo as saying:

_The provincial commissioner of police in Limpopo, Lieutenant-General Thembi Hadebe and police management in the province are concerned about reports on various media platforms, especially social media, indicating that a motor vehicle that was confiscated by the police in Mpumalanga, in which two suspects were reportedly apprehended along the N12 under Delmas policing area on Wednesday 20 July 2022, was stolen from Thohoyandou SAPS._

_Our records indicate that the said motor vehicle, an unmarked white Nissan single cab that was confiscated by the police in Delmas, Mpumalanga was once a police vehicle that was attached to Thohoyandou SAPS. It was sold during a public auction on 2 June 2022 and was bought by a Zimbabwean national who handed in documents that showed he was in the country legally._

_The registration number on the vehicle is the correct one and nowhere in the eNatis system does the vehicle indicate that it was stolen. The history of the vehicle does however indicate previous ownership and how it was disposed of._

_Various people continue to peddle this wrong information on social media that the vehicle was stolen from Thohoyandou SAPS despite the fact that the official media statement issued by the police in Mpumalanga does not indicate the vehicle was stolen._

Mojapelo said before the vehicle was sent to a public auction, all police markings were removed.

Last week, the SAPS in Mpumalanga said the vehicle had been seized after it was found transporting suspected stolen diesel. The police in Mpumalanga stated that the vehicle belonged to SAPS Thohoyandou, and had been fitted with “incorrect” number plates.
 
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said investigations were underway to establish how the vehicle landed in the hands of the two Zimbabwean nationals.
