JOHANNESBURG - A forensic team has been investigating the scene at a mine in Krugersdorp where the bodies of 19 illegal miners were found.
The grim discovery was made on Wednesday afternoon and the bodies appeared to have been moved from another location. Post-mortems will now be carried out to find out how the miners died but the police don't suspect foul play.The police are hoping that post-mortem results will show how the miners were killed."The investigation is continuing and the inquest docket is registered. If there is anything to be followed up, then the forensic team that was there from national office will continue with it," Xaba said.
This is the same area where the police promised that illegal mining had been eliminated after eight women were raped at a mine dump in July.The community complained that the illegal miners were dangerous and called on the police to take action.
Have they done all Autopsies or they are speculating? South Africa yethu iyabhora
All the illegal miners should have been moved out of the area many years ago, and certainly after the rape event. Which politicians are getting rich out of the illegal mining? All unexplained deaths are treated as being caused by 'foul play' until the cause of death is known.
Nothing to see here. Move along
