Two security guards got popped for murder after gunning down somebody at a mine in Matabeleland North. Cops grabbed Mbekhezele Ngwabi and Elisha Matsvai after they allegedly shot Thabo Ngwenya and Nkosikhona Moyo at DGL5 Mine in Inyathi. Ngwenya died from chest and neck wounds before reaching the hospital, while Moyo caught rounds to his eye and arm. The mine owner, Francisco Marconitti, told everyone his guards were only supposed to be using rubber bullets and called the whole thing completely unacceptable.
The local community absolutely lost it after the shooting went down. Villagers and artisanal miners raided the mine site, blocked police from taking the body, and looted gold ore before forcing officers to back off. They even yanked a metal coffin out of a police vehicle and dumped it in the mine guardroom as a protest move.
