A live grenade was safely secured by the SAPS Explosives Unit after being discovered by farm workers at a sugar cane plantation in Blackburn, near Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal on Monday morning.
The explosive, with its pin still intact, was spotted by a tractor driver while loading sugar cane into a trailer.
The device was found amidst a pile of rubbish, prompting the driver to alert his employer, who immediately contacted the Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) Operations Center for assistance.
“Reaction officers were dispatched immediately to the scene to ensure the safety of the farm workers and assess the situation,” a RUSA spokesperson said.
Officers interviewed the employee to understand the circumstances surrounding the find.
SAPS explosive experts arrived shortly afterward and safely removed the grenade, preventing any potential harm to the farm staff or the surrounding area.
“Investigations are now underway to determine how the grenade ended up on the farm and its origin,” the spokesperson added.
Authorities have not disclosed any further details at this stage.
