Dismantling Ruins. Appropriations of Johannesburg’s mining past
Between two and three hundred thousand black men a year have worked the mines of Johannesburg. They always far outnumbered the twenty to forty-two thousand white miners, technicians and administrators. In short, they all, formed a company of strangers in a place without a past. Stemming from the fields of Tanzania, Rhodesia, Mozambique, Malawi, Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana or the industries of England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and Brazil, everyone was foreign and all were incited to sculpt their own identity out of the richness of the earth. In a peculiar way, the landscape came to express this, just as it did the demands of the work that was being done.
