Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, said they opened a kidnapping case for investigation on 27 July at Randfontein, and the victim was found dead with a gun shot wound on 31 July. Last week, at least five people were killed following a shooting incident in Riverlea, just outside Soweto on the fringes of Johannesburg and the adjacent Zamimpilo informal settlement, which has become a hotspot for illegal mining.
On Friday police intensified operations on illegal miners during a community engagement led by Cele in Riverlea. "Police have since recovered scores of illegal firearms, ammunition, stolen property, explosives, gas cylinders and other tools commonly used during illegal mining activities," Cele said.
