Twenty-eight compensated for hearing loss

Of the 32, a record 28 have been compensated. He added that three were not compensated because their condition resulted from causes not linked to employment at the Jwaneng mine. He said the fourth employee's claim is currently with the insurers for processing.

"Measures have been put in place to avoid such incidents in future. These include an occupational hygiene programme which has identified all areas with noise levels that can potentially result in hearing loss," said Kedikilwe.
