JOHANNESBURG – Police Minister Bheki Cele said authorities will now use a national approach to stop illegal miners – once and for all.
Cele, accompanied by the Tactical Response Team, the flying squad, the K-9 unit, and the Hawks, spent the day raiding mine dumps in the Krugersdorp area – after eight women were gang raped last week. They were targeted by so-called Zama Zama’s while filming a music video. The film crew was also robbed.
