The five-month-long platinum strike resulted in the deaths of four people, six stabbings, and 24 billion rand ($2.25 billion) in lost revenue for the South African platinum industry. The GDP of South Africa contracted in the first quarter of 2014, pulled down by the steepest drop in mining production, 25% of which 19% was directly attributable to the strike, in 50 years. It was the first contraction since 2009. Workers, most of whom already lived in poverty, lost around 10.6 billion rand ($1 billion) in wages.
