South Africa: volunteers seek help to illegal miners trapped in disused mine

In South Africa, hundreds of illegal miners remain underground at an abandoned goldmine. The gouverment has rejected calls for the miners to be allowed to leave the deep shaft underground without being arrested. Volunteer rescue workers have been calling for an end to the police operation, arguing their lives are at risk. For more information, FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee is joined by Mathapelo Diale, secretary at Mining Affected Communities United in Action and Duncan Money, consultant historian and researcher on the mining industry, both in Johannesburg.
