July 26, (THEWILL) – South African police, on Friday, said they detained 95 Libyans after a raid on a farm that appeared to have been used as a military camp.
Police spokesman, Donald Mdhluli, said those held were being taken in for questioning following the morning operation near Witbank in the northeastern province of Mpumalanga, about 360 kilometres (220 miles) east of Johannesburg.
“Ninety-five Libyans have been taken in after a raid. The site was said to be a training camp for a security company but it is a military base by the looks of things.
“We are taking them in for questioning and will investigate any criminal activity,” Mdhluli said, adding that the owner of the security company was a South African national.
