Bonginkosi Mhlanga swings his axe pick to the wall of coal at the abandoned Goldview coal mine in Ermelo, South Africa, on April 20, 2021. - After skidding down 82 steps and making his way through a narrow tunnel, Bonginkosi reached a black vein in the rock some two meters wide where he would remain overnight breaking off and collecting coal, rarely allowing himself to withdraw from labour. Bonginkosi amongst other men scrape a living by chipping away at abandoned mine shafts previously exploited by mining conglomerates. (Photo by Emmanuel Croset / AFP)
