Two killed after Red Ants clash with residents during Vaal eviction
Rustervaal - An eviction in the Vaal turned ugly after clashes between community members and the notorious Red Ants resulted in the death of two people and left six more people injured.
According to Emfuleni Municipality, the residents had in recent weeks "invaded the land" which was described as dolomitic and not inhabitable. Gauteng police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo explained that as the Red Ants were carrying out the evictions, a fight broke out with community members and this resulted in the death of two people. "Cases of murder and attempted murder will be opened for investigation. No arrests have been made," he told IOL.
