The bodies of two mineworkers trapped underground after a rockfall at Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) Bathopele Mine in Rustenburg were found on Tuesday, Amcu said.

"They were found at about 3.50pm," said Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) shaft leader George Tyobeka.

He said the two workers were drilling on Saturday when the accident happened.
