Volunteers went back underground yesterday to continue looking for an unknown number of men after the official search was cancelled, citing dangerous conditions underground.
The bodies of the two men who were originally from Zimbabwe were brought to the surface late last night in the absence of the South African police service and emergency officials.
This brings the number of deaths to three.
It’s believed that some of the so called zama zamas who were trapped, escaped after police announced that anyone who emerged from the disused shaft would be arrested.
