- Title
- Work in Progress, Issue no. 5
- Description
- A detailed report on the industrial unrest in Isithebe, the 'growth point' of the KwaZulu Bantustan. It contextualizes the 1978 strike within the broader decline of strike frequency in South Africa since the 1973 Durban strikes. The record highlights the shift from purely economic demands to political and ideological struggles (including the 1976 Soweto Uprising and political funerals). It documents the strike involving 1,000 workers that successfully closed all 1,700 factory jobs in the Isithebe industrial area.
