Cuku Zuku, of 5660 Mutimurefu Street, Mfuleni Extension 6, Cape Town, also had 37 9mm live rounds of ammunition tucked away in a satchel.
He even had the cheek to wear the gun in its holster inside the Beitbridge Border Post.
Acting on a tip-off, police deployed in the Customs and Excise yard searched Zuku and recovered a Norinco pistol and the live bullets.
He failed to explain why he did not declare his firearm and neither did he produce a licence for it.
