AngloGold Ashanti’s mine - Moab Khutsong mine, was considered unsafe by the South African government, and the company has been asked to close the shaft at the mine. The safety of the mine was questioned after two people died in a rock fall incident occurring due to a seismic tremor.
AngloGold spokesperson, Alan Fine informed that operations were halted, while the mine would be studied by senior officials from the department of minerals and energy for safety standards. The ministry was uncertain as to how long the shaft would remain closed.
