US EditionSouth Africa's hunt for 'Tiger' - alleged illegal mining kingpin
- James Neo Tshoaeli, known as Tiger, a 42-year-old from Lesotho, evaded a four-month police manhunt before his detention near Stilfontein, South Africa.
- Authorities accused Tiger of leading illegal mining at an abandoned gold mine where 78 corpses were found in January, and four policemen allegedly aided his escape and now face trial.
- Tiger's family has not had contact with him since 2017, the year he departed Lesotho with his then wife, and several miners suggest he held a middle management position rather than leading the entire syndicate.
- Miners trapped underground faced harsh conditions without food or medicine, contributing to deaths that sparked controversy over police tactics, described as "tortured these people with hunger" by witnesses.
- Authorities continue searching for Tiger’s exact whereabouts while his family disputes his criminal portrayal and awaits further news.
