James Neo Tshoaeli is accused of controlling operations at an abandoned gold mine where 78 corpses were discovered last week.
South Africa's police have launched a manhunt for an alleged kingpin, accused of controlling operations at an abandoned gold mine where 78 corpses were discovered last week.
The police force said officials had helped James Neo Tshoaeli, a Lesotho national also known as Tiger, to escape after he was pulled up from the mine in Stilfontein.
More than 240 illegal miners were brought up alive from the mine after it had been blockaded for months by the police.
Officers had cut off food and water supplies in an attempt to force them out of the mine.
