The sector also began to struggle following generations of reliance on migrant labour, which was influenced by old racial divisions. The Journal of the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy reported that the number of gold miners employed in cheap black labour jumped from 14,000 in 1890 to 534,000 in 1986.
South Africas Department of Mineral Resources has filed an application reportedly seeking to make the countrys laws on black ownership of mines stricter, by making blackowned stakes permanent. Under the current legislation in the countrys mining charter, white owners of mining companies are obliged to sell at least 26 percent of their companies to new black owners.

Mining in South Africa began with chance discovery of a diamond on the banks of the Orange River in 1867. By the 1880s, the mines around Kimberley produced around 95% of the world diamonds. In 1886, on the farm of Langlaagte, the rapidly growing diamond industry was eclipsed by the discovery of gold.
The South African finalists were among 100 women from 28 countries chosen for visible contributions above and beyond their daily responsibilities according to the Chairman of Women in Mining South Africa (WiMSA) Lindiwe Nakedi. The criteria for the top
Economic activity in modernday South Africa has been centred on mining activities, their ancillary services and supplies. The countrys stock exchange in Johannesburg was established in 1887, a decade after the first diamonds were discovered on the banks of the Orange River, and almost simultaneously with the gold rush on the worldfamous Witwatersrand.
Racism remains deeply embedded in South Africa nearly 25 years after minority rule ended, writes Fergal Keane.
Mining in South Africa was once the main driving force behind the history and development of Africa''s most advanced and richest economy.

As one of South Africa''s leading economic historians, Hobart Houghton noted, South African mining has always been an epic of applied science. Professor Chris Barnard put South African surgery on the global map with the world''s first heart transplant in 1967, but South African mining engineering had long since already been on that map.
#0183;#32;This is mainly because of the employment of cheap black labor by the English to mine for the gold. The labor was brutal and exhausting, and required a lot more workers than the English had anticipated. They determined that they could employ more blacks for much cheaper costs, and therefore were replacing the white Afrikaners with cheap black labor.
Mining in South Africa continues to transform the country to this day. Currently, the industry is mostly run by white executives overseeing a huge, lowskilled and cheap black workforce but industry and government are trying to change that by increasing black ownership.
As a result, not much consideration is given to how previously marginalised black communities continue to be dispossessed by coalmining activities in democratic South Africa.
