Press Statement dated 1 October 2018
Lonmin Plc regrets to announce the death of Mr. Tembelani Manyana (46), a team leader, in a fall-of-ground accident at the Company’s K3 shaft on Sunday 30 September 2018. Mr. Manyana succumbed to head injuries whilst being evacuated from underground. This fatality is sad and disappointing as it ends a successful 15-month fatality-free period at Lonmin.
A delegation visited his wife and extended family in Elliotdale in the Eastern Cape yesterday to inform them about the tragic accident.
Mr. Manyana’s family will receive support from the Company. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.
