Rustenburg- This morning at around 07:10 one of Anglo Platinum non-striking miners was allegedly beaten to death at Amandabult.

According to the eyewitness, the bus was carrying non-striking workers to work at Shaft 1 from Rethabile village.

“We were coming from Rethabile village to Shaft 1 when we came across striking miners. They hauled stones at the bus and barricaded roads” Our mole said.

“All of us ran for cover including the driver of the bus.The strikers caught one male from the bus and haul stones at him and beaten  him until he passed on” our informant said.

Our crew contacted North West police for any clarification on the story.

“Up to so far we haven’t received any news regarding the alleged story,but will work on it” Captain Makau said.

If what we received from our mole is anything to go by,the miners death toll increase rapidly.
