“It is alleged that the deceased was busy mining with others when a rock fell on his head, killing him instantly. His accomplices managed to remove his body from the shaft and placed him alongside the road towards Nhlaniki village. An investigation into why this was done is still unfolding,” explained Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngeope.
The deceased is still unknown and police investigations are ongoing.
