 Article Headline: South African mining deaths on decline, says trade union
 Abstract: South African labour union Solidarity said on Wednesday that mine deaths in the country had been showing a downward curve, but noted that there was still room for improvement in safety technology. Solidarity occupational health and safety head Paul Mardon said that the mine deaths had decreased over the past year, showing that the contributions of stakeholders in the mining industry were paying off. In 2007, a total of 221 mine deaths occurred on South African mines, which was more than four deaths a week. By 2009, the figure had decreased to 165, which was about three workers a week.
