ANA reports that the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) indicated on Sunday that it was mourning the death of a worker who was killed during a seismic incident that caused a rock fall at Tau Lekoa gold mine in North West province.
In a statement, Numsa said it had informed management at the mine that it intended to be involved in the investigation into the mishap. "These incidents are a deep cause for concern for the safety of employees at the mine," the union said, noting that last December four workers had been killed following another rock fall at the mine, owned by Village Main Reef. Numsa cited data from the department of mineral resources and energy which showed that 51 people lost their lives in the mining sector in the last financial year.
