[DEVELOPING] A group of illegal miners trapped underground at the Stillfontein shaft 11 mine in the North West say they will return to the surface only when the sick and dead are removed from underground.

They're making demands?

We can't negotiate with Criminals

Criminals have no right to demand anything They must surrender to the police😏

The dead are already underground, its a dust to dust kinda s hit.

Your statement is contradictory..how are you "trapped underground" but still say you will only return to the surface only when the dead are removed?🤷🏾‍♂️meaning they are able to come to the surface they just refuse not to.

So how are they trapped if THEY "say they will return to the surface only when the sick and dead are removed..." poor journailism

Leave them there😄

Welcome to South Africa...where Illegal miners, call the shots 😫😫 valani imigodi, niyeke labantu...niyobancenga until when?

Why are they refusing to come up?? Surely living and getting deported is better than dying in a dark wet hole like an animal 🤷

It's always been a mass sitting, there was no way "4500" people in a mine were all sick & weak to resurface. It's all an attempt to evade arrest.
