Another worker has been killed in a mining accident. This morning’s death occurred at Anglo Platinum‘s number one shaft at Amandelbult in Rustenburg. This brings the total number of mineworkers who have died this year to 121 this year. At Amandelbult alone six people have been killed. The National Union of Mineworkers calls on the company to improve safety standards.
Spokesperson Lesiba Seshoba says “NUM passes its sincere condolences to the family and we are calling on the DME to make sure that this company gets the penalties that they deserve for violating the human rights of many more of our very own people.”
