James “Tiger” Neo Tshoaeli's alleged fellow henchman says the illegal mining fugitive is likely back home in Lesotho
Alleged Stilfontein illegal mining ringleader James “Tiger” Neo Tshoaeli’s escape from police custody was likely facilitated before he even reached the surface.
The miner alleged that the illegal mining bosses had certain officers “in their pockets,” and these were likely paid to ensure Tiger escaped when he emerged. “He was wanted by the police back in Gauteng and owed dangerous people money. Also, the police were increasingly clamping down on illegal mining in Gauteng, making it impossible for illegal miners to operate. So he came to this side,” the illegal miner said.Among his reported cruelties was strangling a minor who had stolen sugar until he soiled himself.
