A man has died in an accident at AngloGold Ashanti’s Kopanang mine in the North West, the mining company said on Monday.
“Jonase Serame Mosebo… sustained injuries during a fall of ground accident, essentially it was a rock fall,” said spokesperson for AngloGold Ashanti Joanne Jones.
The incident took place on the Saturday evening shift.
Mosebo was rushed to hospital but died shortly after his arrival.
“Mr Mosebo was from Lesotho and leaves behind a wife and seven children.”
Jones said AngloGold Ashanti extended its condolences to Mosebo’s family, friends and his community in Lesotho.
