SowetanLive reports the family of one of the three workers whose bodies remain trapped at Vantage Goldfields’ Lily Mine in Barbeton say they never received the money they were promised last year.  

Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane promised the families of the three that they would each get R200,000 as compensation from the mine.  He also said the rescued survivors would get R50,000 each, which would come from the mine.  However, Pretty Nkambule's family said on Thursday they have never received any money from the company.  Her husband Christopher Mazibuko said:  "Why is he [Zwane] not talking to the mine or compensating us?  He was the one who spoke about that.  We have not gotten anything from the mine."  

One of the miners who survived the mine collapse in February 2016 said:  "Remember they promised us money, took us out of work and said they would pay us while we are home but nothing has come through."
