Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee Appointed to Consider and Report on the Supply of the Labour Market
Your Committee, having taken evidence on the labour supply of this colony, have arrived at the conclusion that there is a serious want of labour in some of the western districts of this country.
Although this want may be to a small extent remedied when the Railway Works, at present in progress, are completed, they recommend that coloured agricultural labourers be introduced in batches of not less than 100 at a time.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the need for a strong agricultural labor force in the Western Cape districts to support the expansion of agriculture and industry in the region. The author presents evidence that there is a severe shortage of labor and suggests that colored agricultural laborers be brought in batches of not less than 100 at a time. The author recommends that Mozambiques, Delagoa Bay Natives, Mantatees, and Berg Damaras be considered, and that a trial be made from each of these tribes. The report further suggests that farmers import English or German families to whom cottages and pieces of land should be supplied to create a class of steady, hardworking white laborers. The author believes that juvenile agriculturists from England or Germany should also be brought over in greater numbers under the aided immigration scheme.
