Following the discovery of 19 bodies at a mine in Krugersdorp, Gauteng police stated that there was no foul play suspected.
This is after the gruesome
discovery was made on Wednesday afternoon, before a docket inquest was opened
an inquest. Police spokesperson Brenda Muridili said that the bodies might be suspected
zama-zamas or illegal miners.
She said that the preliminary
investigations suggested that the deceased were moved and placed where they
were discovered. Police will announce cause of death once post mortem results
come out. At the moment all the necessary role players were summoned to the
scene.
Back in September, four bodies
of suspected illegal miners were found at different spots on the Roodepoort farm
outside Polokwane in Limpopo.
One body of an illegal miner
was tied to a tree with gunshot wounds and three bodies were found at the farm
where there is a disused mine shaft.
