The trade union's Sizwe Pamla called for a full investigation into the incident and for solutions to be provided on how such accidents could be avoided in future.
“We also want guarantees from Harmony Gold that the families of the victims receive the fullest possible assistance. We reiterate our call for workers to refuse to work in an unsafe environment that puts their lives in danger. Workers sell their labour and not their lives,” said Pamla. “Fatalities in SA’s mining industry still remain a big challenge with about 19 fatalities already this year. The mining sector recorded about 74 fatalities last year — an increase from 60 the year before and after an all-time low of 51 fatalities in 2019. More needs to be done to arrest this regression in the safety in mining sector workplaces,” Pamla added. 13 mine fatalities this year alone. This is the same as in 2018 and the fourth-highest in the past decade.
