Liquidators overseeing the Kimberley diamond mine warn that an electricity outage from Eskom could cause the mine to flood within 48 hours. The warning follows concerns that power is needed to operate pumps and other systems that keep water under control. However, Numsa disputes the timing and context of the alert. The union questions why liquidators raised the flooding risk immediately after Numsa won a court order that places Ekapa Minerals into business rescue. The court action shifts the company’s status toward a rescue process, while the mine remains under liquidation-related management. The two sides therefore differ on whether the emergency warnings are linked to legitimate operational risks or to the circumstances following the court ruling. The reports describe an ongoing power struggle over who controls the next steps for the mine, as liquidators seek to respond to the technical threat of flooding and Numsa challenges how and when the risk was communicated. The situation centers on electricity supply, immediate mine safety concerns, and competing legal and stakeholder positions following the court decision.
