One of two illegal miners trapped inside Sibanye Gold's Cooke one shaft in Randfontein on Gauteng's West Rand is believed to have died.

Three miners wandered to a cordoned off area of the mine on Monday before encountering a rockfall which resulted in two of them being trapped.

Sibanye Gold spokesperson, James Wellsted says, "There was a rockfall and two of them were unfortunately trapped underground. The third alerted us and we sent the rescue teams down and they have been busy trying to rescue these guys since Monday. We have reached the one gentleman and he is alive and we stabilised him. But we suspect that the other gentleman is deceased now."
