South Africa: Rose Deep Limited
Chinese Labour Record of Service
<p>Manuscript record of Chinese immigrant workers in the Rose Deep Gold Mine near Johannesburg 996 pages large 4to.; original half leather binding title in gilt on upper cover. The manuscript chronicles the service of 874 Chinese immigrants dating from February 1905 to January 1908. Each miner has a full page listing: registration number name and surname amount earned moneys advanced remittance to China number of shifts worked number of working shifts in month leave sickness accidents desertion unlawful absence deaths repatriation total shifts lost and remarks as to conduct and character. After the Anglo-Boer War production on the gold mines of the Witwatersrand was very low due to a lack of labour. The British government was eager to get these mines back working as quickly as possible as part of their overall effort to rebuild the economy. Much of the local labour had returned to farming and the Governor Lord Milner reluctantly agreed with the assent of the British government to import Chinese coolies each on a three-year contract that terminated with compulsory repatriation. The mines had become unpopular with Africans due to attempts to reduce wages in order to maximise profits. Some mines experimented using whites as unskilled labour but these experiments were unsuccessful as they tended to demand higher wages. On the 19th of June 1904 the first Chinese labourers thus arrived at the Witwatersrand. Between 1904 and 1910 there were almost 64000 Chinese working on the Witwatersrand gold mines near Johannesburg. Most of these contractors were recruited from the Chinese provinces of Zhili Shandong and Henan. This measure was very successful in increasing the production of gold from mining but in the long run it faced stiff resistance from white labour that considered the Chinese unfair competition in terms of skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Chinese labour in the South African Mines met appallingly dangerous condition a lack of sanitation good food and welfare. Herbert Hoover who would become the 31st U.S. president was a director of Chinese Engineering and Mining Corporation CEMC when it became a supplier of coolie labour to South African mines. The first shipment of 2000 Chinese workers arrived in Durban from Qinhuangdao in July 1904. Almost all the Chinese labour was entirely recruited and shipped by CEMC. When the living and working conditions of the labourers became known public opposition to the scheme grew and questions were asked in the British Parliament. The scheme was abandoned in 1911. The mass importation of Chinese to work on the gold mines contributed to the fall from power of the Conservative government in the Britain. However it did stimulate to the economic recovery of South Africa after the Anglo-Boer War by once again making the mines of the Witwatersrand the most productive gold mines in the world. Little is known about the lives of the Chinese men who actually worked in the Witwatersrand gold mines and this is a rare document which sheds light on this largely forgotten page in Imperial history. Spine lacking and worn.</p> No Publisher hardcover

South Africa Photo Album
Colonial Southern Africa Travel Narrative Photo Album Victoria Falls and Cape Town during WWII and After 1941 to 1952
1941. Langwill J. P. and Mrs. J. P. Photo album and travel scrapbook 1941 to 1952 a multi format record of civilian travel through southern Africa during and immediately after World War II preserving firsthand observations of colonial infrastructure landscape and local communities. Compiled by an American couple residing in Cape Town and Paarl the album documents movement across South Africa the Bechuanaland Protectorate and Southern Rhodesia at a time when wartime restrictions shaped mobility and access. The inclusion of typed journals alongside photographs and printed ephemera provides a narrative account of travel conditions tourist sites and cross regional routes linking British colonial territories in southern Africa.<br /> <br /> Photo album and scrapbook containing 55 small format black and white photographs 13 larger photographs 15 real photo postcards 79 magazine clippings including photographic reproductions and maps 2 pamphlets 1 folding map 2 newspaper clippings and 8 pages of original typed journal entries housed in a 10 x 13 inch cloth album with a world map affixed to the front cover. Photographs are corner mounted and ephemera tipped or taped to the leaves. The material documents residence in Cape Town beginning in 1941 a July 1944 यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ to Victoria Falls and Southern Rhodesia a 1946 visit to Oudtshoorn and a return to Victoria Falls in 1952. The typed journal titled "Trip to Victoria Falls and Southern Rhodesia July 2 to 25 1944" opens with the statement "Month after month we had postponed our long planned trip because of war restrictions on travel. At last however we decided to go in spite of everything" and proceeds to describe travel through Mafeking the Bechuanaland Protectorate and onward to Victoria Falls including observations of baobab trees the Victoria Falls Hotel and the descent to view the falls and lunar rainbow. Additional entries describe visits to Salisbury and Bulawayo and to gold mining regions near Johannesburg. Photographs include landscapes tourist sites and local scenes including images of Black South African children outside a school documenting colonial educational conditions.<br /> <br /> The album provides a civilian perspective on wartime and postwar travel within the British colonial network of southern Africa where infrastructure such as rail lines and hotels facilitated movement even under wartime constraints. The juxtaposition of personal narrative commercial imagery and photographic documentation illustrates how travelers encountered and recorded colonial spaces natural landmarks and local populations. The presence of American travelers marking events such as the Fourth of July abroad further situates the album within transnational wartime experience. Light wear to covers; clippings show moderate toning; ephemera with light soiling; photographs remain clean and well preserved. Overall good to very good condition. unknown

It is as you are aware our hope that as a result of your visit more young men from the British Isles may be interested in making their careers with us."<br /> <br /> The opening text describes the trip made during December 1954 and January 1955 on which "twenty educationists–University Professors Careers Masters and Headmasters from the United Kingdom–visited South Africa and the Rhodesias as guests of Anglo American Corporation of South Africa Limited."<br /> <br /> In South Africa they visited the gold mine of South African Land and Exploration Company Ltd.; the uranium and sulphuric acid plants of Daggafontein Mines Ltd.; the Orange Free State Goldfields Welkon and Allanridge; Premier diamond mine at Cullinan near Pretoria; the diamond mines at Kimberley; and the Cornelia Colliery near Vereeniging. They went to Victoria Falls and in the Rhodesias they visited the copper mines of Nchanga Consolidated Copper Mines Ltd and Rhokana Corporation; the research labs of Rhoanglo Mine Services Ltd at Kitwe; and the mining towns of Chingola and Nkana. <br /> <br /> The names of the twenty members of the party are listed on the preliminary text leaf. The photos start at the company's headquarters in Johannesburg and then follow the course of the trip. A number show The Ernest Oppenheimer Hospital at Welkom and others show the De Beers facilities including dogs trained to attack intruders. Each photo faces a printed caption detailing the subject in the image. <br /> <br /> The Anglo American Corporation of South Africa was founded in 1917 by Ernest Oppenheimer with financial backing from the American bank J.P. Morgan & Co. The AAC became the majority stakeholder in De Beers in 1926. In the late 1940s and 50s the AAC focused on the development of the Free State goldfields and the Vaal Reefs mine. Ernest Oppenheimer died in 1957 and the company continued under his son Harry the author of the letter to Mr. Harris that is found on the pastedown of this album. The company has at least one connection to the literary world: they loaned a diamond to artist Richard Chopping to use as a model for the paintings he made for Ian Fleming's James Bond series’ dust jackets.<br /> <br /> Rare: given the presentation of this volume it is likely that twenty albums were compiled and distributed to the educationists. We trace no copies in WorldCat/OCLC nor any at auction. A very scarce piece of corporate promotion. unknown
