13 trapped underground as South African gold mine collapses following earthquake

Thirteen miners have been trapped underground after an earthquake caused a South African gold mine to cave in. Rescue teams have been mobilized at the Masakhane mine west of Johannesburg and mine operator Sibanye-Stillwater said that it has made contact with three of the workers. "All efforts are being made to locate the 10 employees who remain unaccounted for,” the firm said, in a statement to Reuters.
