The Minority in Parliament has called for the establishment of a committee to probe the violent clash between the military at the AngloGold Ashanti mine and some local miners which resulted in fatalities.
The incident occurred on Saturday, January 18, 2025, when a group of approximately 60 illegal miners breached the security fence and attempted to access the Deep Decline area of the mine.
The miners who reportedly were armed, opened fire on the military personnel when confronted.
In self-defence, the soldiers returned fire, resulting in the death of nine of the illegal miners.
