The recent incident at a mining film in Johannesburg has left everybody astonished. It is one of the leading gold mining fields of the country. The nearly 486 workers were brought to safety after eleven hours by Sunday evening that is what was said by Harmony Gold in a statement to a local news agency. The President of South Africa Jacob Zuma expressed severe grievances at this and has declared to pay adequate compensation to the family of the workers who had to lose their lives. The reason of the fire that broke out is still uncertain. But however, the CEO of the gold film said that it could be by some lenience in the maintenance work. From the side of the government there will also be a joint investigating taking place to look into the matter in deep. In part will be the department of mineral resources for establishment of the exact cause. Many association and construction workers union has said that this was however not the first time this kind of incidence has taken place and they were also demanding a strict safety audit for their working safety. Certainly these kinds of cases claim a lot of lives and when they do they remain unsolved most of the time. The hope remains that this will be seeing a change.
