Abstract:	The South African labour policies are important not only for the future of the economy but also for the development of the social and political race relations. So the author considers first the importance of economic growth for the future, the importance of the established industrial areas for that growth and the importance of non-white labour for growth in those established industrial areas. He examines the problem of occupational mobility and that of geographic mobility. His conclusion is that the discriminatory labour legislation fast becoming a threat to economic progress has to be withdrawn and that the settled black populations of the established industrial areas must be permitted geographic mobility at least within the whole of each of these areas.
