The first part of this paper outlines the inter‐relationship between defensive combinations amongst migrant metalworkers and their unique cultural formations; it proceeds to show how in the pre‐1972 period, these workers managed to exercise a remarkable degree of control over the conditions of life in the hostels. It also describes the central notions of justice operating within these cultural formations. The second part of the paper briefly outlines the reasons for urban migrant labour disorganisation in what migrants termed the ‘lean years’, that is, thepost‐1972 period. It shows how the trade union thrust on the East Rand, initially by the Metal and Allied Workers Union, facilitated the reorganisation of the hostel workers, transforming in the process the nature of migrant worker associations. Finally the third part describes the new ‘moral order’ which has arisen on the East Rand
