JAKARTA - The number of illegal miners killed in mines closed by South AFRICAn authorities has increased to 60 people.
In August law enforcement surrounded the funchontein mine, cutting off the supply of water and food for miners so that they could surface and then make arrests related to illegal mining.
On Tuesday (13/1) South African police reported 36 deaths. A total of 132 illegal miners have also been rescued, with 60 of them killed.
Reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, those who died were reported to be due to hunger and malnutrition and the evacuation process is expected to take at least 16 days.

In November a number of news reported about 4,000 illegal gold miners, known to local residents named "zama zimas," blockaded in an abandoned mine near the funchontain in South Africa.
Authorities then banned local residents from providing food and water to them and illegal miners who surfaced were secured.
