dc.description.abstractThough the diamond industry would, after a relatively short period of its life, be eclipsed by the gold industry in South Africa, the discovery of diamonds on a large scale ushered in a period of wealth and prosperity which altered the social history of the country in a dramatic way. Apart from the direct wealth produced by the industry (by 1936 over £320m worth of diamonds had been produced in South Africa) (1), the diamond mining industry encouraged the development of a large-scale infrastructural network both within the country and between South Africa and Europe.en_US
