Ten bombs were found in the KwaZulu-Natal legislature at Ulundi last week, the African National Congress in the province said on Monday.
ANC spokesperson Mtholephi Mthimkhulu said the bombs were found hidden in one of the storerooms of the legislature on Thursday.
”The ANC regards this find as a clear evidence that the province is still a haven of weapons of war,” he said in a statement.
”It has always been our concern that there are still four truck-loads of weapons which are unaccounted for after the Inkatha Freedom Party’s Philip Powell led Scorpions investigators to a cache of three truck-loads at Nquthu in 2000,” Mthimkhulu said.
The seven truck-loads were given to Powell by Eugene de Kock, Vlakplaas hit squad commander during the apartheid era. De Kock told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission the weapons were transported to KwaZulu-Natal to be used by IFP in the political violence of the late 1980s.
The ANC on Monday called on KwaZulu-Natal premier S’bu Ndebele to institute a full scale probe into the discovery of the bombs. – Sapa
