The union says Tshoaeli is a red herring, conveniently used by the police to deflect from their own complicity in the deaths of hundreds of people.
The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa said it is absurd and indicative of a cover-up for the police to suggest that someone in Neo Tshoaeli’s condition could be an illegal mining kingpin.The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa has suggested that there is a cover-up in police suggesting that Neo “Tiger” Tshoaeli is an illegal mining kingpin.
Four police officers arrested in connection with the Tshoaeli escape have since appeared before the Stilfontein Magistrate Court and were granted bail. Sebei said in reality, Tshoaeli is a red herring, conveniently used by the police to deflect from their own complicity in the death of hundreds of people.
“These criminal syndicates operate above ground, controlling the illicit mineral trade through a network of middlemen, corrupt police officers, politicians, private security firms and licensed mining corporations. The report added that illegal miners also sold gold to scrap metal dealers, syndicates, security companies and police officers.Sebei said the sophisticated operation that enabled Tiger’s escape clearly points to police involvement.
