Dozens of bodies pulled from mine after months-long standoff
Update: 2025-01-16
Description
Hundreds of miners have been trapped in a South African goldmine for months, after entering to excavate illegally. But while police say they refused to surface over fears of arrest, the workers’ families say they were simply too weak to leave after authorities cut off food and water. Journalist Carien Du Plessis explains how this stand-off came about, and why a rescue operation ended abruptly this week with dozens of bodies being pulled from the mine.
