I've seen many interviews on BBC about this and it is crazy. I think only in Africa can happen such thing. It's like the wild west, with no rules at all. Other developed countries have rules regarding abandoned, closed mines and no such thing can happen.

Yes only in Africa. The last mine rescuing illegal miners trapped due to a cave in resulted in the rescuers dying due to a gas explosion and those bodies are still there. There can be no rescue when dealing with illegals.
It's not just the illegals but imagine what they have been doing made the mine unsafe. It's unbelievably crazy.
Nothing safe and the buildings below these mine shafts are also unsafe.
Crazy!
