South Africa gold miners die after earthquake strikes Four miners have died after an earthquake caused a cave-in at a South African gold mine. The miners were among 10 rescued from Sibanye-Stillwater's Masakhane mine, West of Johannesburg. According to the company, three miners remain trapped, with two still unaccounted for. South Africa is a leading gold producer, but the industry has a poor safety record. This is the second large-scale incident at mines controlled by Sibanye-Stillwater in recent months. South Africa's largest trade union, the Congress of South African Trade Unions, has criticised the company, saying it is alarmed by the deteriorating and poor safety record of Sibanye-Stillwater.
