JOHANNESBURG - The High Court in Pretoria has granted an order that the blockade of the Stilfontein mine be ended, to allow emergency teams to access those remaining underground.
This is after the Society for the Protection of Our Constitution asked the court to intervene.
An unknown number of illegal miners are still in the disused shafts in Stilfontein, under harsh and unsafe conditions.
Zehir Omar Attorneys represented the organisation.
