In the latest incident five employees died after entering an area at its Kloof Ikamva mine that is not currently mined, on Monday 11 June 2018.
The spate of incidents has drawn harsh criticism from the minister of mineral resources, Gwede Mantashe, and the unions.
"One life lost is one too many. We are appalled by the loss of our employees' lives at our mines over the past few months. It pains all of us when employees are injured or lose their lives in safety incidents. While we cannot rectify the harm that has occurred, we will continue to support the families as best we can in their grief. The safety of employees is our primary concern and, if it is not safe to operate, we expect conditions to be fixed before work can resume at a working place. There is substantial evidence that well-organised workplaces are both safe and productive, and that is our aim," says Neal Froneman, Sibanye-Stillwater CEO.
