Mbombela, Mpumalanga – February 22, 2026 – The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) initiated a coordinated takedown operation early this morning in Barberton and surrounding areas within Mpumalanga province.

Investigations reveal that some suspects extend beyond Mpumalanga, with individuals located in Limpopo, Western Cape, and Gauteng provinces. The Hawks have emphasized that details are limited to prevent compromising the ongoing efforts.
