These are four men I met just south of Motshane, they told me three white men came to there village and asked them were the bauxite deposits were. They took them to where the soil was deep red beneath the surface and the men were happy. They took them to Motshane and bought them all suits but after told them not to come back to their village because it was now owned by Bauxtine. The men said they should go to Mbabane and they would get compensation from the government and new land. The women and children of the village would be taken to Mbabane and the other men would have to make a proper work camp for the companies miners.
