JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The body of Tanki Samuel Lepitikoe, one of the two employees who went missing in this week's fall-of-ground incident, has been found and brought to surface by mine rescue personnel.
Implats said in a media release to Creamer Media's Mining Weekly Online on Friday that rescue efforts were continuing for Ohemile Moses Maamogwa, 50, who is still missing.
Rockdrill operator Lepitikoe, 40, originally from Lesotho, had had four years’ service with Implats.
Maamogwa, also a rockdrill operator originally from Morokweng Village in Vryburg, had been working for Implats for 31 years.
Lepitikoe's family would continue to receive counselling and support with assistance from the Department of Mineral Resources and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union.
All other employees were safely evacuated.
