Abstract: | First the article describes the circumstances which restricted contacts between government officials and African mine-workers. Next it analyses the government's considerations to discourage the creation of a large class of settled industrial workers. Conslusion: by 1944 it was clear that the policy to enforce the regular return of the migrant workers was a failure. Notes. |
