Bystanders find body of unknown man next to road

Innocent bystanders discovered the body of an unknown man on the road between Carletonville and Potchefstroom last weekend.

Carletonville residents on their way to Potchefstroom for an outing spotted the body near the fork in the road past Doornfontein at about 10:30 on Sunday. They immediately called the police. When the police arrived at the scene, they discovered the body of a man wrapped in a grass mat. It seems he had been lying there for some time. Police suspect the body might be that of an illegal miner. Zama-zamas are known to be active near Doornfontein and often dump their deceased on the side of the road for others to find. Anyone with information about this incident should contact Sgt Wynand Kruger at 065 968 9630.
