JULY 1960 - Is it higher wages at last? - Samuel Sipamla

JULY 1960 - Is it higher wages at last? - Samuel Sipamla, a dispatch clerk for a wholesale firm. He earns £57 a month and his bosses are planning to give all their staff yearly increments. He is one of the few who gets a salary well above the breadline. 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) NEG 27
