Fatal accident at Tau Lekoa Mine
Village regrets to announce the death of a contractor’s employee, in a rock fall related incident at
its Tau Lekoa operation in Orkney. The accident occurred on Wednesday 24 October 2012 and
the injured passed away in ICU on Thursday 25 October 2012.
The Board and management of Village express their deepest condolences to the family, friends
and colleagues of the deceased.
The Department of Mineral Resources (‘’DMR’’) inspectorate in the North West Province was
alerted and an initial investigation has been conducted. The inspectorate has issued a Section 54
instruction, stopping all production at Tau Lekoa. The management of Tau Lekoa is working
closely with the DMR to minimize the duration of the stoppage on production at Tau Lekoa, while a
full investigation continues.
