A major cash investment by a Canadian company will see operations at the Lily Mine resume next month.
Work at the mine in Barberton Mpumalanga came to a standstill in February after one of the shafts caved in.
The cave-in of the shaft trapped Pretty Nkambule‚ Yvonne Mnisi and Solomon Nyerende‚ who have still not been recovered.
The mine’s management said it would receive an investment of R170-million for a two-month period.
But the National Union for Mineworkers says the mine should first recover the three workers.
“This week our deputy president was having a meeting with our structures in Mpumalanga about the situation there‚” said NUM spokesman Livhuwani Mammburu.
“It’s a worrying situation for us because we want those mineworkers to be rescued before they could resume with operations.”
