  • The Clydesdale Coalbrook Colliery Disaster
    E-Leader Warsaw 2018 The Clydesdale Coalbrook Colliery Disaster Dennis Schauffer Professor Emeritus, University ofKwaZulu Natal, Durban, South Africa In 1960, just south of Sasolburg, in the province of the Free State, in South Africa, there occurred the greatest coal mining disaster in the history of the continent. Over four hundred miners (435) still lie buried in the mineshafts, forgotten and largely un-commemorated. In what used to be known as Coalbrook and now called Holly Country, which is administered by a Taiwanese Company, lies a rusting piece of mining equipment. If you visit the site in winter when the long grass does not obscure the view, you will find a small brass plaque. It reads: In memory of those 435 miners who lost their lives in the Coalbrook mine disaster on 21/01/1960. “After all these years you are still in our hearts and thoughts” There is a bitter irony in the last sentence as it is difficult to find anyone who can recall even one of the names of any of these miners. This is the only physical tribute ever raised to these men who lost their lives in the mine but mystery surrounds why no organisation was willing to do anything to mark this major event in our history on its 50 th Anniversary in 2010. The relevant Trade Union was not willing to become involved with the commemoration. The reason they gave was that the Union did not exist at the time of the disaster and the Chamber of Mines declined the request by some local concerned residents in Holly Country to hold a commemorative service for the deceased miners with no specific reasons being given for their refusal.
