The 59-year-old was caught after police received information about two suspects driving a grey Toyota bakkie suspected to be involved in rhino poaching in Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, said Col Malesela Ledwaba, Limpopo police spokesperson.
Polive spotted the vehicle driving along the R531 near Klaserie One Stop Station in Kampersrus and mounted a roadblock.
“While approaching the roadblock, the suspects unexpectedly made a U-turn and drove back in the same direction. A car chase ensued for about 6km until [the car] stopped in the middle of the road and one suspect vacated the motor vehicle and managed to flee into the bushes to evade arrest and dropped a black bag on the road,” said Ledwaba.
The suspect was arrested and the motor vehicle was searched and police discovered an undisclosed amount of cash concealed in the back seat.
