Fin24 reports that Harmony Gold said on Friday that an employee was killed during an early morning fall-of-ground (FOG) incident at the Tshepong North mine near Odendaalrus in the Free State.
It added that the family and relevant authorities had been informed, with the affected area closed while investigations were under way. The death at Tshepong North came a month after Harmony reported two employees lost their lives at its Kusasalethu mine following a fall of ground incident caused by a seismic event in Carletonville, Gauteng. In August, the miner had reported that six people lost their lives in mine-related incidents in the course of its year to end-June. The loss of life injury frequency rate improved to 0.06 per million hours worked in 2023 compared to 0.13 per million hours worked for 2022.
