Johannesburg: A day after trapped miners were rescued from an illegal mine in South Africa, they will be presented before court on Tuesday.

The miners were trapped in the illegal gold mine after a boulder blocked their exit trapping them on Saturday.
While most of them were rescued, the remaining workers refused to come out of the mine fearing prosecution. Even as they refused to come out of the mine, they were persuaded by the rescued miners to step out.

The miners later agreed to come out of the mine after they were told that police was not present outside, as per a BBC report.
However, they were arrested soon after coming out by the police which was hiding.
