  • The organisations called on the portfolio committee to immediately exercise its legislative oversight functions.

The article from MSN discusses the concerning silence of the Portfolio Committee on Mineral Resources and Energy regarding the tragic deaths of three miners in Stilfontein, North West, on December 18, 2023. Despite the incident occurring over a month ago, there has been no public statement or action from the committee, which is responsible for overseeing mining safety regulations. This lack of response has raised questions about the committee's commitment to addressing mining safety issues, especially given the history of similar incidents in the region. The article highlights the need for accountability and transparency from the committee, urging them to investigate the circumstances of the miners' deaths and to ensure that mining companies adhere to safety standards to prevent future tragedies.
