June 1962 - Five Minutes Of Freedom - Mr. J. D. Nyaose
June 1962 - Five Minutes Of Freedom - Mr. J. D. Nyaose, former secretary for labour in the PAC, is at the head of a federal body of trade unions, FOFATUSA. A trade unionist for 20 years, he has been largely influential in bringing about minimum wage determination for Africans in 35 industries. In 1945 he led 1, 600 workers in the baking industry on a strike which forced General Smuts to intervene by appointing an arbitration board. He was the first man to advocate that a certain class of Africans be recognised as semi-skilled workers. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
