The rescue operation at the South African gold mine has concluded, with volunteers confirming no miners remain trapped underground.
The extensive operation resulted in the recovery of over 200 survivors and sadly, 78 fatalities, highlighting the extreme dangers.
The government's intervention, prompted by a court order, addressed the humanitarian crisis caused by illegal mining activities.
Facing charges of illegal mining, trespassing, and immigration violations, the surviving miners will have to answer for their actions.
