MINE UNION DEATHS: Crash kills 18 construction workers from De Beers’ new Venetia mine in Limpopo

Eighteen Murray Roberts workers and a driver were killed on Sunday on the R572 at Musina in Limpopo when the bus transporting them to De Beers’ Venetia mine collided with a lorry and burst into flames. The employees were members of the National Union of Mineworkers. The tragedy underscores that while mining is becoming safer, there are plenty of hazards for workers even off-site.
