A man who allegedly set fire to South Africa’s parliament was caught with explosives, prosecutors say.
Zandile Christmas Mafe is facing five charges – including two counts of arson – following the blaze which began tearing its way through the historic Cape Town building on Sunday.
The 49-year-old has denied all charges, and his lawyer has said he is a victim of mistaken identity. 

Mr Mafe is the only person arrested in connection with the fire.
