Gogo Sophie, an elderly grandmother living in a shack outside one of Marikana Platinum mines, licks her sour milk covered fingers after she cut the plastic container to use the last drops of her meal on April 2, 2014.

Over 80,000 workers downed tools across South Africa's platinum industry on January 23, holding out for a doubling of their entry-level salary to 12,500 rand ($1,170) a month.
