A mine dam wall collapsed on  September 11,2022 in the Free State mining town, leaving about 140 families displaced and claiming two lives and one is still missing.

Over 90 families have opted to have the mine rebuilt and renovate their homes, while the rest are taking the legal route to have the mine reimburse them.

Free State Premier, Maqueen Letsoha-Mathae says the handover of houses marks a significant milestone in efforts to provide relief and support to the victims of Jagersfontein.
