The search is on for 2 who are believed to be trapped in abandoned mine

Two men are believed to be trapped in an abandoned mine. Police and search dogs have found no trace of them so far.

Two men are believed to be trapped inside an abandoned mine close to Duvha Park.

According to information received, they went to the mine together with a group to ‘husstle’.

Police were on the scene with search dogs but have found no sign of the missing men so far.

Vosman Police Station spokesperson Captain Vusi Mnisi said, “The two missing men have been trapped inside the abandoned mine since June 13 and cannot be found. The site is extremely dangerous, and it is very risky to retrieve them. We are currently waiting to hear from the mine management to see if they will assist with recovery efforts.”

 

This comes after a missing person report was filed following one man’s failure to return home.

According to police, the missing man told his girlfriend he was going to Vosman Cycle near KG Mall but never came back.

After attempts to reach him failed, family members were informed by an unknown man driving a white Mercedes-Benz that the missing man and another individual were stuck inside the mine while three others escaped.

The man left without providing full details or identification.

Hulisani Rasivhaga, Thungela’s Head of Communications, has confirmed the incident.
