The discovery was made in a house in the Oudshoorn district, said the police officer. He described the fireworks found as very dangerous. Jonkman explained that “appropriate” measures will be taken.
Furthermore, a police spokesman said that the man who is believed to have stored the heavy, illegally popping fireworks in the room will have to report to the police station later for questioning. “We will then investigate further what needs to be done,” said the spokesperson.
