The victims, who were stoned to death, allegedly by fellow zama zamas, were all Lesotho nationals.

The bodies of the victims were found lying in the streets of Matholesville barely 24 hours after Gauteng police commissioner Lt-Gen Elias Mawela together with his team conducted a raid in the area as part of Operation Okae Molao.

“During the night operation, police took in 87 people for questioning and to establish if they are not wanted for any crimes,” Kweza said. She added that the manhunt would continue until those responsible for the killings were located and arrested. The provincial commissioner had directed that witnesses be taken into the witness protection programme for their safety, Kweza said.

“We condemn this barbaric attack and we will ensure we leave no stone unturned in making the people of Matholesville and Roodepoort feel safe. The suspects will be arrested as soon as possible and the police will not sleep until we find them,” Mawela said.
