adminafter their temporary shelter was left flooded by heavy rains on Saturday.
Their representative, Sthembile Nqulo, said the Wedela Roman Catholic Church they had been living in for the last week was drenched in water.
“The clothes and blankets are wet… We have no idea what we are going to do tonight,” said Nqulo.
He said the miners had been experiencing shelter problems since the mine announced it was shutting its gates and sent them packing on 3 January.
Around 600 miners would be retrenched and the mine locked them out of the hostel.
The mine reported that it was shutting its Kusasalethu mine because of safety and security reasons. — Sapa
