Summary
The present work brings to an end the trilogy Xhosa in Town with the Bantu-speaking population of one industrial city in South Africa. This trilogy does not claim to be exhaustive, but the author hopes that its plan - for which he/she has been responsible has given each contributor the opportunity to say something worth while, on topics which are important in the context of contemporary Africa. Besides the peasant cultivators typical of Bantu Africa, there exists today in South Africa a large category of landless Bantu. Long before towns and industries rose to their present importance, many South African Bantu were living and working on white-owned farms, with no homes other than those provided for them by the farmer. The recent expansion of towns - it may be said - has merely added a new dimension to the phenomenon of the landless Bantu. Many of the present Bantu town-dwellers are migrating peasants, who have lands and homes in the reserves to which they can retire when their work in town is done ; but some are landless men, who permanently depend on their town earnings, having nothing outside town to fall back on. These latter constitute an urban Bantu working class, together with a much smaller urban middle class.
