JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – A shift supervisor at Anglo American Platinum’s Union mine, near Rustenburg, was killed on June 2, when an office building at the operation’s Spud shaft burnt down, the group said over the weekend.

The mine’s fire brigade was alerted to a fire at the shaft in the early hours of the morning and, upon extinguishing the blaze, discovered the body of Christiaan Kok. The cause of the fire was being investigated.

“We are truly saddened by the death of one of our team at Union mine. The authorities have been notified and Mr Kok’s family is being supported through this very difficult time,” commented CEO Chris Griffith.
