Phokeng- Police are investigating two counts of assault with intention to cause grievous bodily harm after two mine employees aged 33 and 37 respectively were attacked by unknown male suspects while on their way to work in Freedom Park.  

The incident took place near Impala’s UG2 shaft early in the morning on Tuesday.  

“It is alleged that one of the victims is working at an engineering construction at Bafokeng Rasimone Mine while the other is working at UG2 shaft at Impala” brigadier Thulani Ngubane said.  

The victims sustained multiple stabbing wounds.

“No one has been arrested at this stage as police investigation continues” Ngubane said. 

The police are still urging striking mine workers to allow those who are not on strike to exercise their constitutional rights with neither hindrance nor intimidation.-TDN
