💨 Abstract

South African authorities lowered a camera into an illegal gold mine where at least 78 miners died in a months-long siege. Over three days, 246 survivors and 78 corpses were brought to the surface. The government has been criticized for cutting off food and water supplies as part of a crackdown on illegal mining. Only two bodies have been identified so far due to the undocumented status of many miners and decomposition.
