Rescuers have hoisted 79 miners who were stuck in a gold mine outside Johannesburg, but more than 100 were still trapped underground, the mine’s operator said yesterday.
At least 260 miners were trapped underground on Thursday at the Kloof gold mine, 60 kilometres (37 miles) west of Johannesburg, after a hoist used to access the shaft was damaged in an accident, the mining company Sibanye-Stillwater said.
