Johannesburg - The two men arrested on charges under the Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Nuclear Energy acts were denied bail in the Vanderbijlpark regional court on Tuesday, SABC radio news reported.

Randburg engineering firm managing director Gerhard Wisser and Daniel Geiges, a director at the company, were arrested earlier this month.

They face charges relating to the alleged import and export of equipment that can be used enrich uranium, which can in turn be used to make weapons of mass destruction.

Similar charges were earlier dropped against Vanderbijlpark engineering company director Johan Meyer, who turned state witness.

Last week, the two men's lawyers told the court they had received death threats and were verbally abused by a government minister.
