MINERS STILL TRAPPED UNDERGROUND

RESCUE workers are continuing to work around the clock in a bid to free two miners who have been trapped underground since Friday following a rockfall at the Kloof Gold mine outside Carltonville on the West Rand. A mine official said proto teams had not managed to make contact with the men and that the rescuers were working under dangerous and difficult conditions. The miners are trapped in separate areas and proto teams are less than 20m away from them. The disaster happened at a depth of 2700 metres, killing one miner and injuring five others.
