Seven more suspects are expected to appear at the Krugersdorp magistrate’s court on Thursday, facing charges of rape, robbery, and being in the country illegally.
Their arrest comes after the gang rape of a group of women at an abandoned mine dump in West Village, Krugersdorp.
During the protests last week, one person was killed and dozens others suspected of being illegal miners were stripped naked and sjamboked before being handed over to the police.
Over 80 illegal miners were initially arrested for being in the country illegally while the police investigated possible links to the rapes at a mine dump.
On Monday, seven suspects appeared before the magistrate and were charged with multiple counts of rape, robbery, and being in the country illegally.
