Seventy-nine miners were rescued from a South African gold mine after being trapped due to a hoist accident.
Over 100 miners remain underground at the Kloof mine, west of Johannesburg.
The incident occurred on Thursday, leaving miners trapped for nearly 20 hours.
Sibanye-Stillwater, the mine operator, provided food to those still below.
Rescue efforts continued after a safety examination of the shaft.
Families anxiously awaited news outside the mine.
The National Union of Mineworkers expressed serious concern for the trapped individuals.
The company stated the remaining miners would be brought to the surface after the safety checks.
Mining in South Africa employs many, and accidents, though decreasing, are still common.
