ER24 paramedics have confirmed that
four men are trapped in a mine near Robertville on the West
Rand .
It is believed that the mine shaft
which they were working in collapsed.
ER24 Spokesperson Christo Venter
said they believe that the four mineworkers have been trapped for about three or
four days.
Venter said it is believed that the mine
was closed when the men were underground and rescue workers are busy trying to
gain entry into the mine.
ER24’s Christo Venter said the
rescue workers are able to communicate with the four men that are trapped but
there is no direct contact as yet, but they do seem to be in good health.
“There seems to be no one injured as
yet but that will only be confirmed once they are rescued” Venter added.
