An organisation, Teba was established before 1902 to support mines and the recruitment of mining personnel. The British empire annexed all mines in South Africa after the Anglo Boer Wars (1902).

Die persoon is ook een van Ramaphosa se “regterhande” in die mynwerkersunie gedurende 1986 gewees. Hy is in Lesotho gebore maar het later in die myn gaan werk en so sy plek in Suid-Afrika se deur gekry.
Hoeveel immigrante en hul nageslagte van destyds en sedert 1890, maak aanspraak op gebiede wat aan hulle behoort? Heelwat voordeel getrek uit swart bemagtiging.
TEBA
Teba kom al sedert die dae van die Britse anneksasie van myne waar daar gerieflik mynpersoneel in omliggende Afrika lande en selfs die ooste en China geoes is, om die land, veral die twee onafhanklike Boere republieke ingebring is.
Hoe gerieflik – is dit nie dieselfde probleem waarmee Paul Kruger, die destydse president gesukkel het, met al die immigrante wat alles van stemreg en permanente verblyfreg, opgeëis het nie?
Hoeveel ander miljoene immigrante het so die land binnegekom en daarna grondeise ingesit, dat dit hulle grondgebiede is?
Dit het die Britse ryk soos ‘n handskoen gepas, dat buurlande se werkers later hul gewig kom ingooi het op veral die minerale sektor en selfs gestaak en probleme veroorsaak.
Dit is en was ook nie die Boere voorgeslagte wat in beheer van die minerale rykdom was nie, nog minder wat die arm en primitiewe blyplekke (hostels) opgerig het vir mynwerkers nie of vir die sogenaamde “apartheid” die blaam vir alles moet kry nie. Die Boere was beslis nie verantwoordelik vir die swak bly of werkstoestande nie. Ook nie onder Uniewording wat uit London beheer is. Die Vrystaat en ZAR was albei erkende onafhanklike lande wat die Engelse kom afvat het. Die legkaart van invoer van immigrante maak net al meer sin oor die getalle wat vanselfsprekend is.
Alle lande en regerings het vir etlike dekades al streng kontrole, beheermaatreëls en protokolle oor werkspermitte en visa’s in plek. Persone wat oorsee gaan werk, moet hul eie behuisting soek en vir alles self betaal. Niemand kan net van ‘n vliegtuig afstap in Engeland, Amerika, Rusland, Australië of enige EU land en gaan plak of eis vir werk en gratis blyplekke nie.
RELEVANT – VERWANT
Mynproduksie in Suid-Afrika het ook reeds in die jare van die onafhanklike Boere republieke, ZAR en Vrystaat begin en voortgevloei nadat die Britte die myne in 1902 ten volle geannekseer en beheer het uit London.

The British people were in control in 1902 of all mines in Southern Africa, note the date, there was a Union of South Africa since 1910. There were a shortage of workers in the mines, then they decided from LONDON to make use of Chinese and mostly African immigrants. More than 400000 immigrants were imported from mostly African countries and China.
Diamonds/Diamante – Gold/Goud -MINERALS

All mines were annexed just after the Wars ended 1902 and the legislation was handled and ruled from London – NOT from the Boers anymore – and mostly Randlords and since then also import illegals from other countries, not from this country or own workers.
