(CNN) -- More than 3,000 mine workers are trapped in a gold mine in Carletonville, South Africa, according to the South African Press Association.
No injuries are reported.
The workers became trapped when power to the lift used to hoist them failed, the press association said.
The mineworkers' union said a water pipe burst and probably caused the shaft to collapse, The Associated Press reported.
