All 955 workers from a gold mine in South Africa have been safely brought back to the surface.

They had been trapped underground since a power cut struck on Wednesday night, and back-up generators failed to work.

“Everybody’s out,” said James Wellsted, a spokesman for the operating firm Sibanye-Stillwater.

According to BBC News, he said there were “cases of dehydration and high blood pressure but nothing serious”, and the mine would re-open on Monday.
