Johannesburg - A man who has been on the run from the police for five years was arrested in Frankfort, police officials said on Thursday.
Mafa Msimanga, 23, was arrested on Wednesday after police became suspicious of his activities and found his name on a wanted list of criminals, spokesperson Philani Mvuna said.
Msimanga was wanted by Pretoria police in 2005 for being in connection with a case of unlawful possession of a firearm.
At the time of his arrest he was found in possession of dagga.
He will appear in the Frankfort Magistrates Court on Friday on a charge of dagga possession.
Thereafter he will appear at a court in Pretoria on a charge of failing to obey a court order.
