Sibanye-Stillwater mine has confirmed on Tuesday yet another death of a miner, at its Khomanani mine, Driefontein operation in the west of Johannesburg, South Africa.
The company says that according to preliminary investigations one of the miners entered a scraper path and was caught by the scraper.
“This is another sad incident and all efforts are being focussed on addressing this perplexing increase in safety incidents,” the company said.
Earlier this month, five mineworkers died at Sibanye’s Kloof Ikamva mine after they entered a shaft and were overpowered by gas.
