Furthermore, as part of Operation O Kae Molao, police detectives arrested a total of 556 suspects for various other crimes. Police have arrested two suspects who are believed to be the kingpins behind illegal mining in Gauteng and supporting illegal miners with equipment.
The suspects allegedly offered the police thousands of rands for the release of suspects arrested for illegal mining in Roodepoort on Thursday, the SAPS said in a statement.
They are expected to appear at the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Friday facing charges of bribery, among other crimes.
Gauteng Provincial Commissioner, General Elias Mawela, has commended the police for arresting the duo.
“We have been hunting for the people that are leading this scourge of illegal mining in our province. I believe the arrests of these suspects will help us trace others who are still at large,” Mawela said.
More than sixty illegal miners were arrested during Operation O Kae Molao that was conducted in various areas of Gauteng on Thursday.
Police also confiscated equipment used for illegal mining and liquor consumed on the sites.
