Two decomposed bodies were hauled out of Shaft 11 at Stilfontein mine in the North West on Tuesday afternoon. Insiders said the bodies were of several that were thought to be underground. Community volunteers who lowered food parcels into the shaft earlier on pulled out the bodies after they received a note from illegal miners to let them know they would send up bodies. The note stated that they would use the same ropes that were used for the food parcels. Phemelo speaks to community leader, Thembile Botman and attorney at Lawyers for Human Rights, Mametlwe Sebei.
