Profitability, Respectability and Challenge
The history of black labour at the South African gold mines has conventionally been punctuated by three great African strikes, in 1920 (often obscured by the great white mine-worker strike of 1922), 1946 and 1987. The strikes of 1920, 1946 and 1987 (as well as the great white strikes of 1913 and 1922) have all attracted considerable scholarly attention. Yet a more limited black strike in 1913 has seldom, if ever, been recalled, despite its crucia…
Confessing Responsibility for the Evils of Apartheid
The Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) in South Africa during and before the apartheid years was long seen as an obstacle to social change. Occasional critical Afrikaner voices in the 1960s and early 1970s were firmly silenced by church authorities. After 1976, scattered clerical dissent was more clearly asserted, but at the national synod of 1982 it was abjured and critics were removed from positions of authority. At the 1986 synod, however, in a compl…
Separate Development as a Failed Project of Social Engineering
An earlier version of this paper was delivered as a keynote address at the outset of a conference on ‘The Golden Age of Apartheid’. That talk sought to set a tone for the conference by focusing on contradictions in the racial and cultural logic of Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, whose political interventions dominated events and reconfigured society during the period of apartheid's golden age. While ‘separate development’ presented an apparently moral (if a…
Making Mincemeat out of Mutton-Eaters
An earlier version of this article was delivered as the 2014 JSAS Annual Lecture. It represents part of a larger work in progress, an account of the rise and decline of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) at platinum mines on the western (Rustenburg) limb of the Bushveld igneous complex. While the police massacre of striking workers at Marikana in August 2013 drew public attention to the union’s distress, this account traces problems that aro…
Igneous’ means fire from below
From the time Impala dismissed its entire workforce in 1986 up to and well beyond the Marikana massacre, the National Union of Mineworkers has struggled to organise the platinum mines of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. This article focuses on two case studies that highlight the fundamental importance of informal networks for organising mine workers. While the union now seems seriously at risk, it has never had an easy time in Rustenburg. Worker com…
Getting the Gold Out of the Ground
This paper examines the limits and pressures imposed on South African deep-level mining technology by changing economic and socio-political constraints that have obliged mining engineers to adapt their practices of "getting gold out of the ground." Initially employing straight-forward arguments about the importance of means for achieving ends, the paper eventually raises questions that complicate our understanding of practices that underlie simpl…
Bra Soks
I interviewed Oliver Sokanyile for two days in Umtata in 1995. Although he never achieved a national reputation, he was an important early local actor in the early days of the NUM at Vaal Reefs. When the NUM arrived in 1982, Sokanyile joined. He was elected as Western Transvaal regional chairman at the first NUM National Congress in Klerksdorp. In 1985, when the union rank and file took control after the 1984 strike, Sokanyile was demoted to trea…

Comprehending Class Compromise in the History of Class Struggle on the South African Gold Mines
This article seeks to apply Erik Olin Wright's explication of class compromise to the rise of the National Union of Mineworkers on the South African gold mines. Wright's clear and cogent exercise in analytical Marxism is, however, used more as an 'ideal type' to achieve understanding in Max Weber's sense, than as an hypothesis to be proved or disproved. The article challenges conventional Marxist notions of power by introducing a more relational …
Becoming a social movement union
Becoming a social movement union:Cyril Ramaphosa and the National Union of Mineworkers T Dunbar Moodie (bio) In 1984, black African townships in South Africa exploded into popular revolt. The ANC called on township residents to 'destroy the enemy organs of government', rendering them 'ineffective and inoperative'. Militant township youth seized on this principle of 'ungovernability' to impose 'discipline', often violent, on ordinary people trying…
Managing the 1987 Mine Workers' Strike
The 1987 mine workers' strike was obviously a major confrontation between the National Union of Mineworkers and mine management. This article, however, seeks to demonstrate that divisions within management (especially in the Anglo-American Corporation) had important implications not only for the outcome of the strike but also for the potential for institutionalisation on the mines of an industrial relations system based on negotiation rather than…

Maximum Average Violence
In this article I argue that historically high levels of underground violence in South African gold mines can be only partially explained by general cultural factors such as masculinity or race; social factors such as corporal punishment in schools; political factors such as state support for whites; or spatial factors such as the dangers of working underground. All are relevant and important as background conditions, but for a complete explanati…

The Crisis in South Africa
Migrancy and male sexuality on the South African gold mines
The first part of the paper is a descriptive analysis a phenomenology of male sexual experience on the mines. It deals first with miners sexual relationships with boys known as the wives of the mine and then turns to relationships with women living on farms or in townships near the mines known to the miners as town women. The second part is more diachronic depicting with a very broad brush the argument that for junior partners in certain of the m…

The Formal and Informal Social Structure of a South African Gold Mine
The primary purpose of this article is to examine the structures of domination in a South African gold mine from the perspective of black migrant miners. The formal management organizational blueprint for mine and compound is compared with the actual social structure of the mine. The article concludes that the black miner's experience of domination in the South African gold mines is a complex combination of management-ordained authority and perso…

The Dutch reformed churches as vehicles of political legitimation in South Africa
This paper argues the importance of Dutch Reformed theology for the legitimization of National Party rule and for justification of White dominance in South Africa. The Dutch Reformed Churches have never proposed a single identification between election and racial or ethnic identity, legitimization has been sought rather through the cosmic pluralism of Abraham Kuyper and H. G. Stoker. Where Kuyperianism has proven unacceptable for theological reas…
Mobilization of Private Capital
A problem that affected the Allied Powers in particular was how to pay for the purchase of increased quantities of essential foreign products at a time when their export business had fallen off sharply. Both France and Britain had invested huge amounts of capital in overseas territories before the war. By 1914 British-held foreign assets, it is estimated, were worth about 4 billion pounds, while the figure for France in the same year was about 45…

The Reorientation of French Socialism, 1888–90
Historians are in general agreement that French socialism experienced a major reorientation at the end of the 1880's and the beginning of the 1890's. In 1888 the French socialist movement consisted of several diminutive and poorly organized factions, which could not claim, either singly or collectively, a significant national following despite nearly a decade of organizing and propagandizing. Yet by 1893 socialists were able to elect some forty d…
