South Africa won't help thousands of illegal miners trapped in closed mine
Government says it's not responsible for trespassing miners
Miners have been trapped underground for two weeks
The South African government has said it will not help thousands of illegal miners who have been trapped underground in a closed mine for two weeks.
The miners, who are believed to be from Lesotho and Mozambique, entered the mine illegally in search of gold.
The mine, which is located in the eastern province of Mpumalanga, was closed in 2015 due to safety concerns.
The government has said that it is not responsible for the miners because they entered the mine illegally.
The miners have been sending messages to their families, saying that they are running out of food and water.
The government has said that it is working with the mine's owner to try to rescue the miners.
However, it is unclear when the miners will be rescued.
The incident has highlighted the dangers of illegal mining in South Africa.
Illegal mining is a major problem in South Africa, with an estimated 30,000 people working illegally in mines.
Illegal mining is often dangerous, and many miners are killed or injured each year.
The government has said that it is committed to cracking down on illegal mining.
However, it is unclear how the government will be able to do this, given the large number of people involved in illegal mining.
