Efforts continue to rescue trapped illegal miners
Updated | By Jacaranda FM News
Rescue teams, along with four illegal miners, have gone back into the disused mine shaft in Langlaagte in Johannesburg to assess the situation.
Operations were halted earlier on Monday due to the high levels of carbon monoxide underground.
If given the all clear, teams will attempt to rescue the remaining illegal miners, or zama-zama's, who have been trapped since Wednesday.
