Dozens of Krugersdorp suspects expected back in court
The court case against dozens of men arrested following the gang rape of eight women in Krugersdorp is expected to resume in the local magistrate’s court on Wednesday morning.
The suspects, who are illegal miners, are also facing charges of being in the country illegally.
Over 80 suspects were arrested after eight women were raped and robbed while shooting a music video in West Village last month.
However, none of the suspects have been linked to any of the rapes.
Last week communities around Krugersdorp took matters into their own hands hunting down zama zama and torching houses believed to be harboring criminals.
National Police Commissioner Fanie Masemola has since deployed special units to restore law and order in the region.
