The four miners who were trapped underground in Robertville, in the West Rand have been freed. 

It is believed that the shaft they were working on collapsed and they have been trapped underground for about three to four days.  Fortunately no one was injured. 

 ER24 Spokesperson Christo Venter said the rescue operation started the day the shaft fell and they were only recovered today and the rescue were able to communicate with the miners which made things easier to rescue them.

Venter added that the men are in their twenties and none of them sustained any injuries.
