The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union Amcu has expressed gratitude that the bodies of five mineworkers trapped at Ekapa Minerals Joint Shaft Mine in Kimberley have now been recovered.
On Monday, mine rescue teams completed the retrieval of the bodies of the mineworkers who were trapped after a mud rush on February 17.
The union said the recovery brings an end to a painful operation that kept families in uncertainty for more than a month.
