Description
The sister of an illegal miner who has been trapped in an abandoned gold shaft in the South African town of Stilfontein says the situation should be called a "massacre", as efforts to rescue those, including her brother, still in the mine, continue. "We had to go to court for them to bring the rescue teams. So, there's nothing to be happy about," says Zinzi Tom, just outside the mine. "The situation is very very bad. People are sick and people they want to come out. And then there are a lot of dead bodies," says Levies Pilusa, a community leader. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
