12 rescued from collapsed gold mine in Congo and an unknown number of miners remain trapped

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Twelve people have been rescued from an informal gold mine in eastern Congo that collapsed over the weekend, trapping an unknown number of the thousands of miners working there, the provincial governor said Wednesday. The Lomera gold mine in the South Kivu province collapsed on Sunday following a landslide, burying numerous miners working in the underground tunnels, Gov. Patrick Busu bwa Ngwi Nshombothe said in a statement following his visit to the site. Nshombothe, who was appointed by a rebel group that controls the area, said over 4,700 miners work on the site and the death toll and number of miners missing are unknown. Search and rescue efforts continue. The South Kivu region has recently been hit by heavy rains, triggering landslides in several villages and mining sites. The Lomera site is an artisanal mine, operated not by a formal company but by individual workers using basic tools, often in hazardous conditions. It is located in a territory controlled by M23, an armed group backed by neighboring Rwanda. The group seized two large parts of mineral-rich eastern Congo in a major advance early this year. Thousands of people had come to Lomera in recent months, hoping to make money as artisanal miners, turning the area into a 'sprawling chaos of mineshafts and makeshift shelters', international aid group Doctors Without Borders said in a statement on a cholera outbreak in the area last month.

Atul, Rajesh and Ajay Gupta began buying the properties in Thursday's auction in 2006. There, in Saxonwold, one of Johannesburg's oldest and most affluent neighborhoods, they entertained top politicians and businessmen for at least a decade.
