Take quick action High-ranking police officers, Maj. Gen. Lerato Molale (left), Brig. Disebo Cezula (right, Welkom station commander) and Col Didi Ramoolla visited the diggings of illegal miners on the road near the Edmund Rice College on Friday (08/06). The zama-zamas had dug under the main road between Welkom and Bronville at the bridge. This section of road carries heavy vehicles and a high volume of traffic. Residents feared it would collapse. Molale contacted the Matjhabeng Municipality, and the diggings were immediately filled. “We visited the place with top SAPS management and called the director dealing with infrastructure at the Matjhabeng Municipality. The municipality has put measures in place to address the situation. We will continue to monitor it,” said Capt. Stephen Thakeng, spokesperson. Photos: Supplied
Chase ends in shoot-out Taxi driver, young passenger caught in the crossfire Madli Grobbelaar madli.grobbelaar@volksblad.com
During a very dangerous high-speed chase involving police of the Goldfields and robbery suspects, a taxi with a nine-year-old passenger was caught in the crossfire. The driver of a red Toyota Corolla taxi with the young girl were caught in the middle of the dangerous scene in broad daylight. The owner of the taxi, Victor Molefi, says his driver and the child are still very shocked and traumatised. The girl sustained only a slight cut on a finger, caused by shattered glass. Nobody else were injured during the shooting incident. On Wednesday, 6 June, at approximately 12:30 members of the Virginia police’s Crime Prevention Unit noticed a

suspicious vehicle next to the Absa ATM at Virginia Gardens. When they approached the
vehicle with the intention to search it, it left the scene at a very high speed.
The black Golf GTI with a Gauteng registration number took off in the direction of
Welkom. A back-up team of the Welkom Flying Squad responded to the incident. “The shooting ensued on the Tisha Vanga Bridge and two of the passengers in the Golf GTI fled from the scene. “The driver was arrested for attempted murder, reckless and negligent driving and failing to stop when ordered by the police,” says Capt. Malebo Khosana, police spokesperson. The Local Criminal Record Centre visited the scene and picked up 17 cartridges and three projectiles. There was a hole in the door on the passenger’s side of the Golf GTI, which showed that a shot was fired from the inside of the vehicle. Both the driver and child who were in the taxi received counselling from the relevant authorities.
