Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to visit Jagersfontein in the Free State on Monday where one person died, 82 were hospitalised and several went missing when a dam wall burst in the area on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Nearby Charlesville and Itumeleng were also affected.<\/p>\n

“The president’s thoughts and prayers are with the families of [those] who lost their lives in the incident, which allegedly involved a pipe burst from a mine at Jagersfontein,” said the president’s spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya.<\/p>\n

“The president wishes injured survivors a speedy recovery and a positive outcome in the search for missing residents of the Charlesville neighbourhood. The president appreciates the rescue and recovery efforts in which emergency services [officials] and police from towns surrounding the mine and from Mangaung are engaged.”<\/p>\n

The flow of water was stopped and the immediate threat stabilised, Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The National Disaster Management Centre deployed staff members to the affected area to assess the damage and impact, and to provide direct operational support.<\/p>\n

Search, rescue and relief operations are under way.<\/p>\n

Free State Premier Sisi Ntombela said the provincial government activated the disaster management team and the Joint Operation Centre to determine the extent of the disaster.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the premier’s office stated that three bodies had been recovered. It has since corrected this and said that there was only one confirmed death.<\/p>\n

Eskom also reported that it had lost bulk supply to Centlec, the electricity distributor responsible for Jagersfontein, while four Eskom customers on the Fauresmith-Spitskop feeder, three on the Pompie-Rietkuil feeder and the Jagersfontein Mine were without power.<\/p>\n
