STILFONTEIN - The Ministers of Police and Mineral Resources will visit the Stilfontein mine in the North West on Tuesday.
It comes as rescue operations continue at the Buffelsfontein Gold Mine shaft.
A cage has been set up as volunteers head underground to bring out those still left underground.

Dozens of zama zamas were arrested after being brought to the surface and at least nine bodies were recovered on Monday.
The operation follows a weeks-long saga at the abandoned shaft, where authorities have been accused of trying to force the miners to surface by throttling food and water supplies lowered to them by the surrounding community.
It is not clear how many people are in the shaft.
