FOUR SUSPECTS NABBED FOR ILLEGAL MINING ACTIVITIES IN LULEKANI
Four suspects, Tawurai Muranda (28), Sinbarashe Moyo (30), Syton Muzemba (32) and Eric Mudau (33) appeared before the Lulekani Magistrate’s Court facing charges of illegal mining and contravention of immigration act. They were remanded in custody until 25 October 2024 for further police investigations.
Their arrest comes after the members of the SAPS Operation Vala Umgodi team, together with the SANDF and other stakeholders, proceed to disrupt illegal mining activities in Mopani District.
The team was on operation when they received information about active illegal mining at Scheiding Farm, Gate 03, in the Lulekani policing area.
They swiftly went to the location and found a group of people illegally mining minerals. The suspects noticed the police and ran to different directions. Four suspects aged between 28 and 33 were then arrested, and police seized also the illegal mining equipment.
The illegal mining equipment included shovels, spades, picks, iron bars, hammers, torches, and cellphones.
