THE search for two missing Welkom miners continued on Monday after they were trapped in the Matjhabeng mine when an earthquake hit the Free State town on April 23. Anglogold spokesman Andries van Zyl said teams are still working around the clock to locate Lawrence Tsolo (40), and John Delekile (53). Van Zyl said the search is hampered by fallen and loose rock. Anglogold intends to continue with the search until the missing men are found. Van Zyl would not comment on whether Tsolo and Delekile might still be alive, saying only that anything is possible. Though the two miners would have had first aid equipment with them, it is unlikely that they would have had enough food and water for their ordeal.
