South Africa halts search for trapped illegal miners over safety concerns
South African authorities on Monday suspended rescue operations for an unspecified number of alleged illegal miners trapped in an abandoned mine shaft west of Johannesburg due to safety concerns. Rescue teams were able to descend 70 meters into the shaft to a makeshift platform before the operation became too risky to continue, according to an emergency services official.
