Two workers have been killed after a section of Sibanye-Stillwater’s Kloof gold mine in South Africa collapsed, the company said.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, a week after more than 1,000 workers were stuck underground at another of the company’s mines in the region.
Production was halted at the affected area pending an investigation into the incident by Sibanye-Stillwater and government officials, Reuters reported citing the company.
Over 1,000 workers stuck underground had been trapped after a power failure at the company’s Beatrix gold mine a few days ago.
They were rescued after being stuck underground for more than 24 hours.
