The National Union of Mineworkers said it is deeply
disturbed by the fatal accident which happened at Arnot Mine in Mpumalanga.
It is believed that one mineworker died after a rock
fall underground. NUM Health and Safety
Secretary Erick Gcilitshana said it is unacceptable that mineworkers are denied
their basic human rights to work in an environment that guarantees their
safety.
Gcilitshana
said they are calling upon on the department of mineral resources to do an
urgent investigation on this incident because we believe that every accident
can be prevented.
“Fall of rock has been a major killer in this industry
we do not know why people are still killed by the fall of rocks in the industry" Gcilitshana added.
