Media Statement STILFONTEIN – The SAPS is working closely with the Department of Health in North West in ensuring that health care is provided to illegal miners in police holding cells. On a daily basis, SAPS members conduct inspections at police holding cells and those that require medical care are referred and admitted to a local hospital. The number of those admitted in hospital has thus risen from nine on Monday, 13 January to thirty-two on Tuesday, 21 January 2025. All who are hospitalised are currently under police guard. The narrative that illegal miners are not receiving adequate medical care is thus refuted and devoid of truth. Ends
