Five gold miners from Kehancha in Kuria West, Migori County are lucky to be alive after they were pulled from a collapsed mine on Friday, 24 hours after it caved in on them.

Weakened and horrified by the near-death experience, the five, whose names police are yet to reveal, were pulled out of mounds of clay and rushed to hospital.
