NO ARREST IN AMCU MAN’S MURDER

NO arrests have been made after the murder of a North West Amcu regional organiser in Rustenburg at the weekend.

Police spokesman Thulani Ngubane said the 46-year-old man was shot dead by a group of men at Billy’s Tavern near Anglo Platinum Mine’s Khomanani mine shaft two on Saturday.

“It is alleged that the group stormed into the tavern, and one of the suspects carrying a 9mm pistol, fired four shots at the victim who died at the scene.

“The police are still looking for the suspects,” he said.

The man cannot be identified as his family have yet to be notified.

The four men involved in the shooting remain on the run.

It is believed the suspects were wearing blue overalls, while the deceased who was watching a soccer match at the time of the shooting, was in his Amcu-branded T-shirt.

North West Premier Thandi Modise said workers should not be incited to commit violence against each other.

“Workers should resist the temptation to be drawn towards violence against each other by faceless people and give the investigation a chance,” she said.

United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa said it was too early to predict who might have been behind the killing, saying it could have been rivals, the National Union of Mineworkers or the state.
