Residents in Primrose, Germiston, say they are living in fear as rival groups of illegal miners engage in almost daily shootouts around the old Simmer and Jack mine. Bullets have reportedly hit homes and vehicles, forcing some families to take cover inside their own homes. The community is now calling for increased police resources and the deployment of the SANDF to restore safety.
