At least four of those being treated in hospital after the incident in the densely populated Angelo shanty town are also thought to be from Mozambique.<\/p>\n

Toxic gases are often used by illegal gold miners \u2013 known locally as zama zamas \u2013 to extract gold from soil stolen from abandoned mine shafts. It is thought that this could be the source of the leak.<\/p>\n

A large number of Mozambican migrants live in South Africa having gone there for work \u2013 both in the formal and informal sector, including mining. On Thursday, a Mozambican woman living in South Africa told the BBC that her husband had died in the gas leak.<\/p>\n

Speaking through tears, she added that she was concerned about how she would get her husband\u2019s body home to Mozambique as she was unemployed and he worked part-time jobs as a handyman.<\/p>\n
