Searching for South Africa’s alleged illegal mining boss ‘Tiger’ | BBC News


A 42-year-old mining boss from Lesotho named ‘Tiger’ – real name James Neo Tshoaeli – has evaded a South Africa police manhunt for the past four months.

Detained after being accused of controlling the illegal operations at an abandoned gold mine near Stilfontein in South Africa, where 78 corpses were discovered underground in January, Tiger escaped custody, police claim.

Four policemen, alleged to have aided his breakout, are out on bail and awaiting trial, but the authorities appear no closer to learning the fugitive’s whereabouts.

The BBC went to Lesotho to find out more about this elusive man and to hear from those affected by the subterranean deaths.
