Herman Mashaba’s Action SA mulls legal action against Lily Mine BRPs
Herman Mashaba’s political formation Action SA has said it’s now in talks with of the bidders for the Lily Mine to discuss legal action against the mine’s business rescue practitioners (BRPs) regarding a charge of contempt of court.
The party wants to compel them to finalize the process of re-opening the mine.
On Friday former mineworkers, friends, and family members converged at the mine to remember three workers who were trapped in a container underground.
This comes five years after the accident.
Pretty Nkambule, Yvonne Mnisi amd Solomon Nyerende were trapped when the ground collapsed.
This is how the families at #LilyMine started their day today, on the FIVE YEAR anniversary of that fateful day.

Action SA said the continued delay in retrieving the container must be challenged. The party said the BRPs have received two bids to re-open the mine.
In 2019 the High Court ordered that the process be finalized. However, this was yet to happen.
Action SA leader Herman Mashaba said: “From our perspective, both bids commit lead to the retrieval of the container and to pay wages owed to the former mines within 60 days of the agreement.”
Mashaba said the delay was unacceptable.
“That is why Action SA can announce that we are in talks with one of the bidders for the mine about a joint legal action to hold the BRPs in contempt of court, thereby compelling them to finalize the process.”
Meanwhile, the family members of the three miners still maintain that the container is retrievable and all they wanted was to bury their loved ones with dignity.”
