There's concern over the mental state of the family members waiting for news about the three workers trapped in rubble at the Lily Mine in Mpumalanga since Friday morning.
Entering the fifth day of search and rescue operations, teams were working against the clock to get to the container where the three people were in.
Representatives of the Mpumalanga Council of Churches visited and prayed with the families of the trapped mine workers Tuesday morning.
