Two miners have died in a fall-of-ground incident at Harmony Gold’s Kusasalethu mine in Carletonville.

The accident, caused by a seismic event, happened on Tuesday.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleagues [and] endeavour to ensure that all safety protocols are adhered to at all times,” the mine said in a statement.

Harmony reported in August that six people lost their lives in mine-related incidents in its year to end-June.
