Mineworkers held back at Thembelani shaft for their safety – Sibanye

Sibanye-Stillwater on Tuesday afternoon confirmed that mineworkers at the Thembelani shaft have been held back from being hoisted back to surface for their own safety, after rails fell off a conveyance earlier in the day. The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) had earlier said that about 4 000 workers had been trapped at the mine.
