22 January 2025- The police in Sun City have launched investigations following shooting incidents that occurred on Thursday morning, 16 January 2025, at Portion Zero (Tuse Mine), Witrandjie village, near Sun City, outside Rustenburg.
The North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adele Myburgh said the reports suggest that employees of two private security companies exchanged fire, which resulted in three men sustaining serious injuries. Myburgh said following the intervention and stabilisation of the situation by Sun City Visible Policing and Rustenburg Public Order Police (POP), firearms that will be subjected to ballistic tests, were seized.
“In addition, two attempted murder charges and three separate cases of malicious damage to property were registered after three vehicles were found with bullet holes.
“The motive of the incident is yet to be established. No one has been arrested and investigations are underway. We would like to indicate that contrary to social media reports, the shooting incidents did not involve the police,” she said.
Myburgh further said members of the community are once again urged to use social media platforms responsibly rather than peddling lies and causing unnecessary panic.
