[Rescue services are in the process of
rescuing a group of illegal miners trapped
in an abandoned gold mine shaft
near Benoni, Johannesburg.
Werner Vermaak of emergency services
ER24 said they are in touch with a group
of about 30 miners who became trapped
by fallen rocks below the surface.
"They say there are approximately 30
people trapped towards the top of
the old shaft," he said. "It's an
abandoned mine shaft in the middle
of the public veld (open fields) ... it was
not a blocked-off area," he added.]

They must be really fearful of the Police if they would rather stay in an abandoned mine with little food and water and the risk of explosions, rockfalls or drowning.

idiots.

Idiots for going into an abandoned mine to begin with, and even more idiotic for playing this immature game of not wanting to come out.

How old are these men??

I wouldn't fancy my chances in the South African prison system either
