The Constitutional Court is set to hear an urgent application from the Mining Affected Communities United in Action, MACUA, to compel the government to rescue and provide aid to illegal miners still underground in Stilfontein, North West. The miners have been stuck for months with reports of severe starvation, dehydration, and chronic illnesses. The government has been accused of downplaying the crisis, claiming the miners can exit voluntarily.
