Western Cape police have shut down an illegal alcohol manufacturing facility on a farm in Faure.  

Five Malawians were arrested, and large quantities of illegal alcohol were seized during the operation on Thursday.

Police spokesperson Frederick van Wyk said that the suspects will appear in court once charged.

"Upon further investigation, the members visited a storage facility in Woodstock, Cape Town, where a Chinese national aged 53 was arrested. A substantial quantity of illegal, pre-packaged alcohol was confiscated at the second location, suspected to be ready for distribution."
