The department of mineral resources says it will commence with a comprehensive investigation into the matter.

The Minister of mineral resources Gwede Mantashe on Wednesday appealed for vigilance for the health and safety of mineworkers following an incident at Sibanye-Stillwater’s platinum mine.

On Tuesday, day shift employees were kept waiting underground after rails which were being transported underground, whilst being slung under the conveyance, came loose and fell down the shaft. “Despite strides made on health and safety thus far, we should not be complacent. We are committed to the goal of zero harm at work. Every worker must return home safe,” Mantashe said.
