Four miners shot at Aurora goldmine in South Africa
World
Police and politicians say four miners have been shot and injured, apparently by security guards using rubber bullets, at a goldmine owned by the nephew of the South African president, Jacob Zuma, and a grandson of Nelson Mandela, the guardian reports.
Monday's shooting comes after the firebrand politician Julius Malema visited the Aurora goldmine last week and told fired mineworkers he was going to make South African mines ungovernable.
The police spokeswoman Pinky Tsinyane said four miners had been shot and police had arrested four people for public violence.
Two weeks ago, police killed 34 striking miners at a platinum mine. Scores of miners arrested at the scene of that mass shooting north-west of Johannesburg await release on Monday.
