'Killed through starvation': Zwelinzima Vavi insists Stilfontein miners had no viable exit and were left to starve

//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -had-no-viable-exit-and-were-left-to-starve.html

On the second day of the State-sponsored rescue mission, a total of 106 miners were brought to surface and arrested for illegal mining, while 60 bodies have so far been recovered.

The article from MSN discusses the tragic situation of miners in Stilfontein, South Africa, where Zwelinzima Vavi, the General Secretary of the South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU), has accused mining companies of essentially starving miners to death. According to Vavi, these miners, trapped underground due to a lack of viable exit routes, were left without food or water, leading to their starvation. This incident highlights the dire working conditions and the negligence of mining companies in ensuring the safety and well-being of their workers. Vavi's statements underscore a broader critique of the mining industry's practices, pointing to systemic issues of worker exploitation and the urgent need for better safety regulations and oversight in South African mines.
