IOL Business reports that Harmony Gold Mining has announced that an electrician died while performing routine maintenance work at its Mponeng mine near Carletonville on Sunday morning.
A full investigation by the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has been launched. The incident follows previous fatalities reported earlier this year at Harmony’s Doornkop and Joel mines. According to the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu), Sunday’s death is the twelfth fatality at Harmony operations and the thirty-eighth death reported in the SA mining industry so far in 2025. Amcu’s president Joseph Mathunjwa commented: "Amcu remains resolute and will not be intimidated or deterred in its fight for zero harm in the workplace. We are outraged by this needless death and by Harmony ‘s disregard for worker safety.” The company affirmed that safety remained a core priority across all its operations.
