SIX teams are searching for the missing trapped miners at Harmony Gold's Kusasalethu mine near Carltonville on the West Rand. Trade union AMCU is adamant that Harmony Gold management must be held accountable for the death of mineworkers, saying they could have been avoided. Two bodies have been recovered after mineworkers were trapped underground following a rockfall due to a tremor.
