The Lejweleputswa Knock-out team arrested 59 suspects in cases relating to crimes such as trespassing, possession of gold-bearing material and illegal mining.
Of these, 57 were illegal immigrants.
On 16 September, the team, together with private security, conducted illicit mining disruptive action near a local mine shaft and recovered bags filled with gold-bearing material.
Two suspects were arrested in this effort.
