Abstract

This paper is a preliminary attempt to locate the process of deskilling of iron moulders in foundries in South Africa between 1896 and 1950 within an analysis of the labour process. It is an attempt to engage in a debate with Braverman's impressive account of the capitalist labour process through a specific study.
