Rescue teams at Impala Platinum Mines in Rustenburg have worked throughout the weekend searching for missing miner, Moses Mamogwa, without any success.

Mamogwa has been trapped underground for 14 days now.

He was trapped together with a colleague who was found dead.  

Mine management says chances of finding the missing man alive at this stage are slim.

The two miners were trapped during a rockfall almost two weeks ago. However, Lesotho national Samuel Lepitikoe’s body has since been found.

He was buried at his home village of Matsieng outside Maseru over this past weekend.

Now rescue teams are still hard at work searching for Mamogwa.

The Impala mine management says Mamogwa’s family has been taken for counselling at the mine.
