The Provincial Police Commissioner in Limpopo. Lt.Gen. Nneke Ledwaba took part in an operation along the border between the two countries, and found the old-school transport being used to smuggle goods.
According to a statement from SAPS, a donkey cart was spotted from a police helicopter.
"The donkey cart was conveying goods towards the Zimbabwe side of the Limpopo River," SAPS says in a statement.
Police say when the helicopter landed on the banks of the Limpopo River, the suspects fled into Zimbabwe leaving the donkeys and the cart behind.
