Three arrested in coal sting

The Hawks have arrested three people believed to be part of a syndicate dealing in illegal coal mining in Mpumalanga. The sting operation started overnight in Emalahleni , with the help of immigration and State Security Agency officials. Those arrested are allegedly part of transport companies that steal coal from mines, and replace it - or mix it with fake products. Earlier this year Public Enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan revealed how so-called coal mafias were compromising Eskom's operations. Newzroom Afrika's Tumaole Mohlaoli reports.
