ANA reports that a mineworker died at one of Impala Platinum’s operations in Rustenburg as a result of a fall of rock on Wednesday morning, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) advised.
“This is the fourth incident in the platinum belt since the beginning of this year. We call on the Department of Mineral Resources to fully investigate this unfortunate incident. The NUM will continue to fight so that no mineworkers or workers life is sacrificed for profit,” the union stated. The incident took place on the eve of the highly-anticipated release of statistics on the health and safety performance of the mining industry for 2016 by Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane on Thursday.
