They were found with mining equipment including explosives.
“The suspects, whose ages range between 27 and 40 years old, are due to appear in the Pongola Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 22 November 2024,” Netshiunda said.Meanwhile, the Stilfontein gold mine saga took a twist on Thursday after an individual attempted to illicit a cut from a team of rescuers.“We are aware that there’s somebody who demanded 30% from one of the contractors that were working here to clear the site.
“We are working on it. There’s no formal case that has been opened. The reason we are raising it we want members of the community also to be aware that not everybody who is here, is here for a good cause. We have people here but for ulterior motives, but we will definitely follow up on that,” police Spokesperson Brigadier Sabata Mokgwabone said.
