Uitlander

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Uitlander, Afrikaans for "foreigner", was the name given to expatriate migrant workers during the initial exploitation of the Witwatersrand gold fields in the Transvaal. The limited rights granted this group in the Boer republics was one of the contributing factors behind the Second Boer War. These vast gold fields were discovered in 1886, within ten years the uitlander population of the Transvaal was thought to be double that of the native Transvaalers, 60,000 uitlanders to 30,000 burghers. These workers were primarily concentrated around the Johannesburg area.
