Red Ants 'cornered man, killed him'

A resident was brutally killed at an RDP settlement in Ekurhuleni, allegedly by Red Ants guarding new houses against illegal occupation.

But this assertion has been denied by the Gauteng Department of Housing, which had contracted the Red Ants and who said the death was a result of a fight between members of the community about occupation of houses.

The incident has resulted in a furious standoff between the Red Ants and the enraged community of Eden Park Extension 5, who called for the guards in red overalls to be taken out of the area yesterday.

Meanwhile, a police statement said the Red Ants had attacked 34-year-old Alfred Ngubeni shortly after they had assaulted his 25-year-old wife, Ayanda Zulu.
