The Hlobane Coal Mine Disaster occurred at the Hlobane Colliery, Natal on 12 September 1944.[1] During drilling of a dyke in a coal seam, methane built up during the night due to insufficient ventilation in the mine.[1]

The explosion was said to have been caused by a miner relighting his lamp.[1] He was in charge of monitoring the methane levels and its high levels had extinguished his lamp.[1] The explosion resulted in the deaths of 57 miners and six serious injuries.[1]
