Abstract
Mine companies are experiencing a change in the political system of the country (South Africa). This political
change from apartheid government to the government of National Unity has brought about a totally different
system of government; this. change has led to the transformation of mines companies from employment section
to housing of mineworkers from their operation system, how are the mine companies /houses dealing with this
change? Changes in the political and economy of the gold mining in the 19705-19805 have prompted management
to begin moving away from migratory labour and implementing alternative accommodation strategies for black
mine workers.
this topic we will look at the different I alternative approaches for housing black mine workers and how they
can afforded housing in their nearby work place
