LIVE: South African Police Briefing On Trapped Illegal Miners At Mineshaft In Stilfontein | N18G
Police officials hold a news conference as South Africa's government says it won't help a group of illegal miners inside a closed mine in the country's North West province who have been denied access to basic supplies as part of an official strategy against illegal mining. The miners in the mineshaft in Stilfontein are believed to be suffering from a lack of food, water and other basic necessities after police closed off the entrances used to transport their supplies underground.

Several hundred people are believed to remain in an illegal mine in South Africa after the government cut off vital supplies and refused to help them, in a dramatic bid to crack down on the industry.
Food and water supplies to those underground have been halted by police seeking to force the illegal miners to come to the surface.
