[]
9-hundred and 55 gold miners have been trapped underground after a power cut in South Africa. Forty workers have been rescued. The accident happened Thursday at the Beatrix gold mine near the city of Welkom. A spokesperson for the mining company said the workers did not face immediate danger. They are in a confined but safe area. He said a massive power outage caused by a storm had prevented lifts from bringing the miners to the surface. CGTN will keep you updated on the story.
