Johannesburg – No unrest incidents occurred in Khutsong on Monday evening and police were monitoring the area, said Gauteng police.

Police were maintaining a high visibility, said Brigadier Neville Malila.

Six people, including a sangoma, were killed on Sunday, allegedly by residents.

Four of the six bodies were identified as James Magagula, 61, Mojalefa Maleho, 23, Makume Makume and Akhona Ngwati.

“The deceased who were killed in Extension 5, Carletonville are not yet identified. Names will be released as soon as they are available.”

The six were killed after about 400 men, believed to be Khutsong residents, held a meeting to discuss gangsterism.

Malila said a group of men went to a house in Khutsong Extension Three, where they attacked a 61-year-old traditional healer, setting him and his house alight. The man died on the scene.

Other groups from the meeting went to Extension Four, Phase Two, where two young men, allegedly members of a gang, were assaulted and set alight. They also died at the scene.

In Extension Five the groups assaulted a number of people they accused of being gangsters.

“Two alleged gang members were stoned. One died on the scene and the other at the Carletonville hospital,” said Malila.

The body of a sixth man was found on Sunday night. He had been set alight.

Earlier, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa condemned the killings and said the perpetrators would face the law.
