It was a thing of joy on Friday, February 2, 2018 when all 955 gold miners who were trapped underground for about 30 hours in the Beatrix gold mine (Theunissen, South Africa) were rescued unharmed. According to the report, the incident happened after a massive power outage caused by a storm on Wednesday evening prevented lifts from bringing workers on the night shift to the surface. This has made many people in the country to question the safety measures at South African mines after the incident. The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) had advised that the mine should remain closed until a full investigation is conducted so as to guarantee the safety of workers.
