Officers responded to the incident near the Zamimpilo Informal Settlement on Saturday night.
Masondo has appealed to anyone who might have information that can help in the investigation or assist in the apprehension of the suspects to contact police.shadow minister of mineral resources James Lorimer said residents of Riverlea claimed gangs of men armed with automatic weapons were moving through suburban areas and heavy gunfire.
“Videos being circulated show armed men moving through the suburb and to the sound of continuous automatic gunfire. Other local reports say one gang left the area carrying what appeared to be two bodies wrapped in blankets,” Lorimer said.Lorimer claims rival gangs are attempting to assert control over the Zamamphilo mining settlement.
“The settlement is a few meters from Main Reef Road and sits between Riverlea and Industria. It lies atop the buried Transnet fuel pipeline and a major high-pressure water main. This is another major source of concern. If illegal mining activities rupture either pipeline, large numbers of people could be killed or injured,” Lorimer said.The DA has called on police to inform the public about what they are doing about illegal miners in Riverlea.
