Seventy illegal miners have surfaced in the Free State under an amnesty period from Harmony gold mines.
The mining company granted the miners amnesty from arrest, should they surface yesterday or today.
Harmony says it also prevented its workers from taking food underground, to prevent them from selling it to illegal miners. It is unknown how many illegal miners are still underground.
Harmony’s Marian van der Walt said, all that the amnesty means is that these guys would now be allowed to come to surface. They won’t be arrested. They will have to surrender any material and any money
