WATCH: Lily Mine families sing, pray as they wait
After another day of search and rescue operations at the Lily Gold Mine in Mpumalanga, family members have come together as they wait for news.
Rescue operations are in their fifth day as rescue workers race to get to a containers where three mine workers, two women and one man, are trapped.
Operations Manager, Mike Begg told Jacaranda FM news earlier on Tuesday that rescue workers heard "audible" sounds this morning, indicating that the miners were still alive.
The three have been trapped under the ground since Friday after the main crown pillar apparently collapsed into the underground open stopes, trapping almost 100 mine workers at the start of the morning shift.
