Abstract:Before the First World War So the workers were involved in a series of inter-tribal riots in the South African mining compounds. However, analysis of the 'riot' at Jagersfontein mine on January 9th, 1914, on the basis of evidence in the Lesotho National Archives, indicates that supposedly tribally based conflict was closely related to rejection by workers of aspects of their working conditions and not simply a manisfestation of inter-tribal conflict. Notes.
