Cape Times
|December 01, 2025
THE Department of Mineral Resources cannot have access to Impala Platinum Mines does not ....report to government, done after the 2023 disaster when 16 miners died and scores were injured when a lift carriage crashed at the bottom of the shaft.
The Johannesburg Labour Court found that the report, commissioned by the mine shortly after the incident, was privileged and that it is not obliged to share this with the THE Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) cannot have access to Impala Platinum Mines’ report into the 2023 disaster that resulted in the deaths of 16 miners and left scores injured when a lift carriage crashed at the bottom of the shaft.
The department sought an order compelling Impala to produce the report, arguing that it is necessary for its inquiry under the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA) and that it is not protected by privilege.
The department’s inquiry commenced on December 9, 2024 and was adjourned to July this year. When the hearing resumed, an employee of Impala testified and revealed that there was an official investigation done by DRA South Africa Projects, on behalf of the mine.

Hands off white South Africans, Trump
DONALD Trump’s obsession with the myth that white people in SA are being targeted, mistreated, killed and property confiscated ad nauseam is not only a malicious lie, it’s designed to draw attention away from the mess in his own backyard where 80% of middle class Americans own a paltry 20% of America’s wealth. Translated, this means that most middle class working Americans are relatively poor and unable to make ends meet. In South Africa whites who make up just 9% of the population own almost 70% of the wealth. Whites own almost 75% of all agricultural land including all farms. The wealthiest 10% of South Africans (mostly white) own 85% of South Africa’s wealth. Factually South African whites are, by far, better off financially than their American counterparts...and this is what galls Donald Trump. There's an old saying that Trump should note....“Don't fix something that's not broken.” The bottom line is that whites in SA are doing just fine and Donald J Trump should focus on fixing the broken sewer in his own backyard.
