ANA reports that Harmony Gold on Tuesday announced that a worker had died after what was believed to be a material handling accident at the gold producer’s Joel mine in the Free State.
“Harmony regrets to advise that a colleague succumbed to his injuries in hospital on Monday afternoon, following a material handling accident on Friday morning at Joel mine in the Free State province,” the group said in a statement. Harmony has been plagued by fatalities of late. One mine worker was fatally injured last month in an underground rail-related incident at Phakisa mine, near Welkom. Another mine worker died after a fall of ground at Harmony’s Kusasalethu mine, near Carletonville in April. A gold miner was killed in an accident at Harmony’s Target mine in December in Welkom following a fall of ground accident.
