Police search for suspects who allegedly stoned illegal miners to death via SABCNewsOnline
It’s alleged that the murders were committed by the victims’ fellow Zama Zamas, also of Lesotho origin.
Police spokesperson Noxolo Kweza says the 10th victim has been taken to a local hospital where he is being treated. “The suspects are now accusing the deceased of being involved in criminal activities which attract the police into their illegal mining operational space. However, this does not excuse the suspects’ actions as the law does not allow anyone to take the law into their own hands. We condemn this barbaric attack and we will ensure we leave no stone unturned in making the people of Matholeville and Roodepoort feel safe.
