A recent sinkhole, which swallowed up several homes in Likazi informal settlement on Coronation colliery in Witbank. Thousands of people live in the Likazi informal settlement on top of the abandoned Coronation colliery. Miraculously no one was hurt when the land collapsed. Residents live on the edge of hundreds of sinkholes, some of which are up to 30 meters deep. The sinkholes are not cordoned off and people risk falling into the crevices below.
