Gold fever seen fuelling mine deaths in S.Africa "I suspect it has a great deal to do with favourable conditions in the market place. A lot more areas have been opened up underground and there is a greater intensity of work," chief mine inspector May Hermanus told Reuters. "It's not uncommon in any industrial activity, where periods of high output correspond with poor safety. But the consequences are severe in mining."
