Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first of two volumes, places black mineworkers into a central, determining role in South African history. The success of the mining industries and the prosperity of the country have depended upon the efforts and skills of low-paid black workers. They have determined the scope of mining and the technological quality of its operations. It was essentially their sacrifices which made it possible for the mining houses to earn massive profits. The impressive and glamorous infra-structure of South African society which is reflected in the spacious homes of the whites, equipped with swimming pools and saunas, and guarded and serviced by blacks, is derived from those profits. Yet, apart from occasional references to them as 'tribal natives' or 'migrant workers', nameless and without identities except as numbers, black mineworkers have been largely excluded from from the history of South Africa. They have not even been credited with a history of their own.

Download or read book South Africa s Gold Mines the Politics of Silicosis written by Jock McCulloch and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2012 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the silicosis crisis in the South African mining industry, and reveals how the rate of, often fatal, tuberculosis among black migrant miners was hidden for over a century. South Africa's gold mines are the largest and historically among the most profitable in the world. Yet at what human cost? This book reveals how the mining industry, abetted by a minority state, hid a pandemic of silicosis for almost a century and allowed miners infected with tuberculosis to spread disease to rural communities in South Africa and to labour-sending states. In the twentieth century, South African mines twice faced a crisis over silicosis, which put its workers at risk of contracting pulmonary tuberculosis, often fatal. The first crisis, 1896-1912, saw the mining industry invest heavily in reducing dust and South Africa became renowned for its mine safety. The second began in 2000 with mounting scientific evidence that the disease rate among miners is more than a hundred times higher than officially acknowledged. The first crisis also focused upon disease among the minority white miners: the current crisis is about black migrant workers, and is subject to major class actions for compensation. Jock McCulloch was a Legislative Research Specialist for the Australian parliament and has taught at various universities. His books include Asbestos Blues.

Download or read book Migrant Labour in South Africa s Mining Economy written by Alan H. Jeeves and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1985-06-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tracing the development of the recruiting system, Alan Jeeves shows how a large proportion of the labour supply came to be controlled by private labour companies and recruiting agents, who aimed both to exploit the workers and to extract heavy fees from the employing companies. The gold indusry struggled for years against the internal divisions which created the competition for labour, until at last the Chamber of Mines, with the support of the state, succeeded in driving out the private recruiters and centralizing the system under its control. This study of the interests involved in the struggle for control of the black labour supply reveals much about the forces which created and now entrench racial domination in South African's industrial economy.
