What are required are a more coordinated approach and the involvement of the National Intervention Unit and Task Force as well as the newly established Directorate of Priority Crime Investigations (The Hawks). The mine also showed the Delegation a video cassette in which mine security and a large number of illegal miners armed with AK 47s were involved in an underground shoot-out.
