South Africa accused of 'horrific' crackdown as 78 corpses pulled from besieged mine
STILFONTEIN, South Africa (Reuters) -At least 78 illegal miners have been pulled out dead from a South African mine where police blocked food and water supplies for months in what trade unions described as a "horrific" state crackdown on desperate people trying to eke out a living. A total of 78 bodies and 166 survivors - some of them emaciated and disorientated - have been hauled out so far in a court-ordered rescue operation that began on Monday, with hundreds more men still stuck 2 km (1.5 miles) below the surface in a gold mine at Stilfontein, southwest of Johannesburg. Police had stopped food and water supplies from being taken into the mine since August until a court ruled in December that volunteers could send down essential aid for the miners, known locally as "zama zamas".

Gol said in a securities filing it expects to emerge from Chapter 11 in May, and sees its net leverage "substantially improving" going forward as it rebuilds its network and returns to "normal levels" of core earnings by next year. "We have secured lessor concessions, addressed maintenance and past-due liabilities, launched a profit improvement plan, and reached agreements with key stakeholders," Gol's Chief Executive Celso Ferrer said in a statement.
