Underground operations at Northam Platinum's Zondereinde division were suspended on Thursday following the death of a worker in an underground locomotive accident, said the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM).
A worker died when two locomotives collided on Wednesday, said NUM spokesman Lesiba Seshoka.
“Operations at the mine have been suspended for investigations to take place,” he said.
Investigations normally take a week.
Northam Platinum spokeswoman Marion Brower confirmed that a ministerial inquiry was taking place.
“We will only resume underground operations once the underground area is rehabilitated and remedial plans are presented to the minerals and energy department,” she said. – Sapa
