Inquest into Lily Mine collapse under way at Nelspruit Magistrate’s Court

On February 5, 2016, Yvonne Mnisi, Solomon Nyerende and Pretty Nkambule had been in an office container when the mine collapsed and they were trapped inside. Their bodies have not been recovered since the container fell into the sinkhole.
The inquest into this matter had previously been heard in the Barberton Magistrate’s Court. The family members of the three trapped inside the container attended. Elmon Mnisi, Yvonne’s father, took the stand on Wednesday.
