"NUM says another worker killed at Sibanye-Stillwater mine", 19 Feb 2018

South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers said on Monday another worker had died at Sibanye Stillwater's Driefontein mine outside Carletonville over the weekend, the latest in a recent spate of fatalities at the company's operations. "NUM is deeply worried that the mining industry has yet claimed another life of a mineworker (who) died as a result of electrocution on Saturday," the union said, noting that the latest death came a few days after another miner died at Driefontein's No.1 Shaft on February 12 while clearing a blocked ore pass. Earlier this month, a fall of rocks at Sibanye's Kloof Mine killed two people, and before that 955 miners were trapped underground at its Beatrix gold mine following a power failure after a severe storm. Sibanye-Stillwater hasn't confirmed the latest incident.
