Hawks nab three illegal miners in Limpopo this weekend, seized R3.5 million worth of mining equipment

This weekend in Limpopo, Hawks apprehended three illegal miners and seized mining equipment worth an estimated R3.5 million.

On the evening of January 23, 2023, three alleged illegal miners were apprehended after a successful operation to disrupt mining operations.

The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation is now committed to eradicating illicit mining by undertaking continual disruptive operations in the afflicted regions.

Members of the Limpopo Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation headed the operation. The Pretoria-based National Intervention Unit (NIU) aided the team.

The crew discovered the three suspects engaged in criminal operations while ambushing them.

During the operation, two (2) big excavators, one (1) tipper truck, and a substantial stockpile of chrome valued at over R3.5 million were seized.

On January 25, 2023, the suspects, ages 29, 45, and 47, will appear before the local Magistrate’s Court.

The Provincial Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation in the Province of Limpopo commended the team for their outstanding performance.

“I appreciate the excellent execution of the operation and its successes. The team must be applauded for tenacity and commitment to fight the scourge of illegal mining,” Major General Govender concluded.

The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram. Ms. Bishop was spotted on Tuesday evening when she arrived in Canberra for the annual John Gee Memorial Lecture at the Australian National University (ANU). A cheerful Ms. Bishop was pictured posing with Rafael Mariano Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Ms. Bishop, who has been the university chancellor for two and a half years, gave the opening remarks for the event while elegantly attired in a black flowery top, pants, and heels in front of a packed crowd. At the event, which was held in memory of the late diplomat Dr. John Gee, Argentinian Mr. Grossi served as the main speaker. Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018. When Mr. Panton declared that the relationship had reached its end on July 1, the couple went out to supper, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
