South Africa: EFF Message of Solidarity With the Trapped Mineworkers of Beatrix Mine

press release

The EFF send a message of solidarity to all 950 Beatrix mineworkers in Welkom who are trapped underground. It is reported that miners got trapped after electricity cut which meant the lifts bringing them up could not work.

We know that Beatrix mine has 23 levels, going down to 1,000 metres (3,280 ft) below ground. It must therefore not be easy to be trapped there even for a single day.
