This latest discovery follows the arrest of 95 Libyan nationals last month in Mpumalanga.

The Libyans were running an illegal military training camp under the guise of a security guard training centre.

About the Modimolle discovery, Hawks Limpopo Spokesperson Lethunya Muroa said: "The purpose of the training is not yet clear, but military-related training cannot be ruled out, the manner in which the firearms and ammunition landed on the farm is still under investigation."

Arrests are yet to be made in the latest discovery of a suspected military camp.
