Updated | By Neo Leeuw
Four mineworkers are trapped in a mine near Robertville on the West Rand, paramedics said on Monday.
"Paramedics and rescue workers are currently on the scene where a mine shaft apparently collapsed, trapping the workers," ER24 spokesman Christo Venter said.
"It is believed that the workers had been trapped for three days already but this stands to be confirmed."
He said paramedics could hear the trapped workers and were talking to them but could not reach them.
No further details were available.
