# Eight illegal miners resurfaced from Shaft 10 in Stilfontein, North West, and are now in police custody. Reports suggest that 12 bodies remain underground, with claims of cannibalism due to food shortages. Community members are urging mine legalisation to combat poverty in the area. Some community members have also abandoned voluntary rescue efforts for those still trapped. Authorities face mounting pressure to address the crisis and its underlying socio-economic causes.
