南非是一个依赖出售资源的发展中国家。它的财政健康和公民的健康在很大程度上依赖于其矿山并受其影响。采矿业的重要性可以从一些数字中得到衡量-例如，2009年南非采矿业有1000多个矿山和483212名员工; 168888名是铂矿，148832名是黄金矿，68006名是煤炭矿，其余是其他商品矿。2012年8月16日，警察开枪打死了34名罢工的隆明矿工，这起事件被称为“马里卡纳大屠杀”，其后果给该国造成了数十亿美元的财产损失和出口收入损失。矿工及其家属，特别是那些希望工作的人，遭受了严重的困难。
South Africa is a developing country reliant on selling resources. Its financial health and the health of its citizens are massively dependent on and influenced by its mines. The importance of the mining industry can be gauged from a look at some figures - for example, in 2009 the South African mining industry had over 1 000 mines and 483 212 employees; 168 888 were in platinum, 148 832 in gold, 68 006 in coal, and the rest in other commodities. The 16 August 2012 shooting by police that resulted in the death of 34 striking Lonmin mine workers in what has become known as the 'Marikana massacre', and its aftermath, have cost the country billions in damage to property and lost export income. Miners and their families, especially those who wished to work, have suffered severe hardship.
