A 48-year-old farm owner and 15 undocumented foreign nationals are expected to appear in the Lenyenye Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday after being arrested during a police compliance operation at a farm in Trichardsdal, Limpopo.

According to police, members of Maake SAPS conducted a compliance inspection at the farm on Monday, June 29, 2026, where they found several employees on duty.

During the operation, officers requested identity and immigration documents after discovering that some of the workers were not South African citizens.

Police said 12 employees were unable to produce the required documentation and were subsequently confirmed to be undocumented foreign nationals.
