    • WHO, Geneva, Perhaps the most frequent direct cost of industrial production on the mines has been industrial accidents. The rate of those permanently injured in fact appears to be increasing although this may reflect better reporting. The incidence was 9.8/1000 in 1960, 13.2/1000 in 1971, 39.8/1000 in 1976 and 100/1000 in 1979. Each year between 1970 and 1979, 800 people died from accidents in the South African mines, 500 in the gold mines, that amounts to 1 death per 200 workers.

    • The industrial disease of South Africa
    • This figure may well over represent the number of new TB cases repatriated since workers repatriated for TB occasionally found their way back onto the mines only to fall ill and be repatriated again. On the other hand, many workers were repatriated before they were diagnosed and others were diagnosed under the general category of ‘disability’.

    • Phthisis and the white working class on the Rand
    • As early as 1907 silicosis was an important issue in white labor protests. The strike of that year was organized in response to the mine owners attempt to increase the number of drills that white miners had to supervise from two to three in order to decrease the ratio of high wage white miners to low wage black workers. The white miners protested that this change exposed them to more dust and thus to a greater risk of contracting silicosis

    • Land use and agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe
    • Dinham and Hines [25] point out that while large scale plantations may produce higher yields per acre, their cost per ton is often much higher than that of small-holder production because of high input costs. These costs represent imports of fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals and technology which also represents a drain on a country's often limited foreign exchange earnings. Wiener et al. suggest that in Zimbabwe small-holder production may in fact be more productive in terms of yield per acre as well as cost per ton.
