High court bid for Stilfontein miners’ relief



The High Court in Pretoria is today expected to hear the main application in the stand-off between illegal miners and police at a mine in Stilfontein in the North West.

The organisation, Society for the Protection of our Constitution, approached the court for relief for the unconfirmed number of illegal miners.

The court, on Saturday granted interim measures pending the finalisation of the main application which in summary ordered that the mine shaft in Stilfontein, must be unblocked for emergency personnel and that no person should block it.
