Miners from an unregistered Union in South Africa are holding hundreds of their colleagues underground for a second day at a gold mine over a union dispute. Fifteen miners have been injured in scuffles, and there are conflicting statements about the situation. The unregistered union claims to represent the majority of employees and wants formal recognition, stating that the workers underground are protesting and not hostages. The incident began when miners from the AMCU union prevented others from leaving after their night shift at the Modder East mine.
