SABC News reports that two suspected illegal miners have been granted bail of R5,000 each by the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court outside Burgersfort in Limpopo.
Justine Mitchell and Gerry Mitchell were arrested last Friday for alleged possession of chrome valued at over R20 million. The pair made their first court appearance facing charges of illegal mining and possession of suspected stolen chrome among other charges. Their case was postponed to 27 and 28 January next year at the Burgersfort Regional Court. The Hawks are confident that investigations will uncover other suspects involved in the operation. Hawks Limpopo spokesperson Lethunya Mmuroa commented: “At the moment, we cannot say if there are links with the illegal mining activities that are happening in Sekhukhune and if we find that there are, we will make more arrests.”
