Abstract 748 containers; 145 linear metres - The Employment Bureau of Africa Ltd. (TEBA) was established in March 1977 as an amalgamation of two companies, namely Mine Labour Organisations (NRC) Ltd. and Mine Labour Organisations (Wenela) Ltd. In 1902 the Witwatersrand Native Labour Association was established to recruit labour for the South African mines. They started by recruiting Mozambicans and later men north of latitude 22 degrees South (Tropic of Capricorn), including the Caprivi Strip, Angola, Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) and Malawi (then Nyasaland). They even recruited miners from China. The Native Recruiting Corporation was established in 1912 to recruit mine labour south of 22 degrees South. They recruited labour from the former Ciskei and Transkei as well as Lesotho (formerly Basutoland), Botswana (was Bechuanaland), Swaziland and KwaZulu-Natal. In 1966 the NRC and WNLA changed their names to Mine Labour Organisations (NRC) Ltd. and Mine Labour Organisations (Wenela) Ltd. respectively. Although separate, they were run by the same board of directors and had the same management.
