{South African police say mobs have killed \u2014 and in some cases set on fire \u2014 six people suspected of gang links in a township west of Johannesburg.}<\/p>\n
Police Brig. Neville Malila said Monday that there have been no arrests for the deadly violence a day earlier in Khutsong, near Carletonville town.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
SAPA says the violence happened after about 400 men held a meeting to discuss alleged gang activity in the community.<\/p>\n
Nathi Mthethwa, the police minister, says “mob justice is unjustifiable.”<\/p>\n
His office says police are patrolling the area, which remains volatile.<\/p>\n
