Rescue workers in South Africa have cleared the shaft entrance of an abandoned mine and have lifted at least 11 of the estimated 200 illegal miners who had been trapped by debris in an abandoned gold shaft near Johannesburg.
Some of the victims appeared to be reluctant to emerge because of fears they would be arrested.
Some of those who came out were dehydrated but in good spirits.
