Union concerned as 300 Sibanye Stillwater miners trapped underground await rescue
About 300 mineworkers are currently trapped underground at Sibanye Stillwater's Kloof Mine – near Randfontein and Westonaria – reportedly without access to food or water.
Randfontein Herald reports that National Union of Mineworkers spokesperson Livhuwani Mammburu says the workers became trapped yesterday in shaft 7 of the Kloof Mine.
'At the moment, the information is still scarce. We are waiting for the preliminary report. At this moment in time, we do not want to speculate. However, we are worried about the mineworkers,' Mammburu adds.
Randfontein Herald attempted to reach Sibanye Stillwater spokesperson James Wellstead, but he is currently unavailable.
