Bystanders watch as police forensic experts work at the scene where 34 people died after police opened fire on striking mineworkers in Marikana on 17 August 2012. The workers at the Marikana mine were on a weeklong wildcat strike demanding a tripling of their wages from the current 4,000 rand (US$486) a month. South African police insisted today they only fired in self-defense. (AFP Photo/-)
