Maseru, Nov.17 — The High Court of South Africa, Pretoria has ordered that the mine shaft in Stilfontein where thousands of illegal miners are trapped and denied food and water by the South African Police Service (SAPS) be unblocked.

In the court order, Justice Neukicher has instructed that, pending finalisation of the matter which will be on Tuesday, the mine shaft in Stilfontein, that forms the subject matter of the application shall be unblocked and may not be blocked by any person or institution whether government or private. . .
