News24 reports that eight suspected illegal miners, known as zama zamas, have been arrested in Limpopo, following an investigation by the Hawks (Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation).
The miners, aged 31 to 65, were allegedly mining illegally in Hlaneki, Mapuve and Mavalani villages, just outside Giyani when they were arrested on Thursday. A generator, hose pipes, saws, electric cables, hammers, live ammunition, gold nuggets, bags full of gold-bearing material, phendukas, a grinder and other equipment were confiscated. "The confiscated goods have yet to be valued but they are expected to run into millions. The suspects were found processing gold when they were apprehended.”
