Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The bodies of two more suspected illegal miners were found in a mineshaft in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

This brings the number of bodies found to 21, after the first batch of 19 bodies was discovered on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The bodies were placed in white body bags next to a pile of sand, as members of the police search and rescue team combed the scene cordoned off with yellow police tape.<\/p>\n

“The two bodies were retrieved [on Thursday] morning from an open mineshaft not far from where the other bodies were discovered on [Wednesday],” police spokesperson, Brigadier Brenda Muridili said.<\/p>\n

Muridili said evidence suggested that the bodies had been moved to where they were found.<\/p>\n
