（勒斯滕堡11日综合电）南非西北省勒斯滕堡一座废弃矿井发生坍塌事故，造成14名非法采矿者死亡，多人受伤。
据南非广播公司报导，南非国家警察局发言人马特周二（11日）说，位于恩卡嫩（Nkaneng）附近的废弃矿井的井壁突然坍塌。当时一些非法采矿者正在废弃矿井内作业，结果遭到掩埋。
马特说，目前已确认14人死亡，另有8人受伤送往医院，部分人员仍受困。搜救行动仍在进行中。
在南非从事非法采矿的矿工来自此地区的多个国家，他们受贫困和失业的驱使，而相关行业往往与有组织犯罪、暗杀、敲诈勒索和其他非法活动密切相关。
南非工会联合会曾多次警告，南非放任“数千座废弃、破败且安保措施不足的矿场，沦为死亡陷阱、环境隐患和有组织犯罪团伙的滋生地”。
联合会在声明中指出，南非约有6000座废弃且无人认领的矿场和矿址。
