At Least 12 Killed in Johannesburg Attack, South African Police Say

I would say it is still early to confirm the issues of illegal mining, but of course, we cannot overrule that because I’ve seen some of the victims. Where they were lying, it looks like, this is a place of the processing center for illegal mining. So one could not overrule that.
