Emergency services in South Africa have taken 36 bodies and 82 survivors from a gold mine deep underground during a rescue operation, according to police.
They said the survivors would face illegal mining and immigration charges.
The South Africa Police Service said that it surrounded the site last August and cut off food and water supplies in an attempt to force the miners to the surface so they could be arrested as part of a crackdown on illegal mining.
At least 400 people were trapped in the mine in North West Province, a group working on behalf of the miners said.
Mining Affected Communities United in Action (MACUA) obtained two videos from those emerging from the mine last Friday, when a pulley was restored to the bottom of the cavern.
It said the system - used to lower supplies to the pit - had been destroyed.
The first video reportedly showed dozens of bodies wrapped in sacks and plastic, while living miners pleaded for help.
In the second tape, miners appeared to be thin and weak.
"The shaft is 2km deep. It's impossible for people to climb up," MACUA spokesperson Magnificent Mndebele said.
South Africa's Department of Mineral Resources and Energy said: "The pulley system was put in place by community members, but was "replaced with machinery used by mine rescue services who were contracted" by the department.
The mine is in the town of Stilfontein, about 150km from Johannesburg.
