JOHANNESBURG (AP) South African police say mobs have killed and in some cases set on fire six people suspected of gang links in a township west of Johannesburg.
Police Brig. Neville Malila said Monday that there have been no arrests for the deadly violence a day earlierin Khutsong, near Carletonville town.
The South African Press Association quotes Malila as saying the dead included a 61-year-old traditional healer, and that crowds threw stones at police vehicles responding to the attacks.
SAPA says the violence happened after about 400 men held a meeting to discuss alleged gang activity in the community.
Nathi Mthethwa, the police minister, says "mob justice is unjustifiable."
