Is it higher wages at last? -oae Lazarus Tabane
Is it higher wages at last? -" Lazarus Tabane operates a machine for an oil company in Johannesburg. After an increase his pay went up to 4 11s. 9d. a week and 18 a Month, which meant a lot to him. But then he has to support four children and his mother. A tough business. There is a bold cry going up in the country. This time it's louder than ever before. It's stronger, better organized, and backed by solid determination. Big Businessmen, industrialist, trade unionist, Bazaar-owners, politician and leading church men - all the people who count are involved. They are saying: Pay The Black Man More and Let Him Stand On His Own Feet! (Photograph by Peter Magubane @ Baileys Archives)
