Mining Weekly reports that Atlatsa Resources on Tuesday reported a fatality at the Brakfontein shaft of its Bokoni mine, near Polokwane.
The employee, a miner’s assistant, was fatally injured last week in what the company described as a water-related incident. No other employees were injured. A Department of Mineral Resources investigation is currently under way, while Atlatsa institutes its own internal audit and safety procedures to take the “necessary remedial actions”.
