Appendix II

Estimated Numbers of Migrant Workers

1. Mozambique

According to the Johannesburg office of the Mozambican Labour Department, there are 52,918 Mozambican workers employed in the South African mining industry, 29,020 employed in the agricultural sector, and 5,007 employed in the service sector.

2. Lesotho

The Lesotho Labour Office in Johannesburg estimates that, as of March 1996, there were 114,000 Basotho workers employed in the South African mining industry and 10-15,000 workers employed by farms, railways, and the service sector.

3. Swaziland

The Swaziland Labour Office in Pretoria estimates that 16,000-18,000 Swazis are employed in South African mines. An additional 5,000 Swazi workers are employed in sectors such as forestry, farms, factories, and retail sales.

4. Botswana

The Consulate of Botswana in Johannesburg estimates that 11-12,000 Batswana migrants are employed in the mining industry, down from a 1992 peak level of 15,000. Batswana migrants also work as seasonal farm workers and in household employment, though no estimates are available.

5. Zambia

The Zambian High Commission in Pretoria estimates that there are fewer than 100 Zambians working in South Africa. This is in part because the Zambian government ceased to provide contract labour for South African mines at independence.

6. Malawi

Unknown. In 1989, Malawi ceased allowing TEBA to recruit Malawian mine workers and ordered TEBA to return workers who were then employed to Malawi. This was a response to TEBA's testing of workers for HIV as a condition of employment, a requirement which the government perceived as discriminatory. Since 1989, there has been no employment of Malawians in South African mines.

7. Zimbabwe

The Zimbabwean High Commission estimates that approximately 60,000 migrants work in South Africa in professional posts such as teachers, university professors, doctors, nurses, and accountants. In addition, another 400,000 migrants (including undocumented workers) may work as domestics, on farms, and in construction.

Endnote 34:
The Ministry of Labour has delegated the authority to administer the Workers Compensation for mineworkers to Rand Mutual Insurance.
