The Citizen reports that , a Sasol Mining employee was shot dead on 9th Street in eMzinoni on Saturday, 8 October at about 11pm.
The deceased returned from a tavern and was then found by his landlord with a gunshot wound to the stomach. He was taken to Bethal Hospital, where he later died. It is alleged the 31-year-old man was threatened to stop going to work and to join the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) strike picketing. He opened a case of malicious damage to property in August after his car was torched. But police say there is no evidence linking the case to the Amcu strike and the reason for the murder is still unknown.
In another incident, a rented room of a Sasol employee was torched while he was at work. Police say they are concerned over the sudden spike of crimes against Sasol employees.
