A History of Mining in Broken Hill (Kabwe): 1902-1929 Buzandi Mufinda A HISTORY OF MINING IN BROKEN HILL (KABWE): 1902-1929 BY BUZANDI MUFINDA THIS THESIS HAS BEEN SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN THE FACULTY OF THE HUMANITIES, FOR THE CENTRE FOR AFRICA STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE. FEBRUARY 2015 SUPERVISOR: PROF. I.R. PHIMISTER CO-SUPERVISOR: DR L. KOORTS DECLARATION I declare that the dissertation hereby submitted by me for the Master of Arts degree at the University of the Free State is my own independent work and has not previously been submitted by me at another university/faculty. I furthermore cede copyright of the dissertation in favour of the University of the Free State. Buzandi Mufinda i DEDICATION I dedicate this work to the memory of my late parents, Edward Mufinda, and Rosemary Mufinda, and to my niece Chipego Munene and hope one day she might follow in the footsteps of academia. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Glory is to the enabling power of the Almighty God whose hand has worked through many ways to make it possible for me to accomplish this study. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my supervisor, Professor Ian Phimister, for the patient guidance, encouragement and advice he has provided throughout my time as his student. I have been extremely lucky to have a supervisor who cared so much about my work, and who responded to my questions and queries so promptly. To Doctor Lindie Koorts, your expertise in structuring and editing of this work continually amazed me. Thank you also for your moral support. Not forgetting my mentor Professor B.J. Phiri. I could not have asked for a better role model, inspirational, supportive, and patient. I would also like to thank the International Studies Group of the University of the Free State for their support. In particular, I would like to thank Mrs Ilse le Roux who became my personal confidante and helped me through difficult situations. Doctor Kate Law for the suggestions she made in reference to Chapter 2. To my siblings, Lorraine, Machendu, Edward and Chimembe you have been the best of friends along this journey in your unwavering support, understanding and tolerance in many ways during the study. Even in times of despondency and discouragement you encouraged me to work hard. Completing this work would have been all the more difficult were it not for the support and friendship provided by Alfred Tembo, Doctor Clement Masakure, Ivo Mhike, and Doctor Mercy Mukuma. Last but not the least my ‘partner in crime’ Unaludo Sechele for her wise counsel and providing a friendship that would last through the years. To the following academic institutions, the National Archives of Zambia, Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines, Livingstone Museum and University of Zambia (Special Collection Department) my deepest appreciation for allowing me to consult the collections in your care. iii Table of Contents DECLARATION

    Mortimer Hays-Brandeis Traveling Fellowship Final Report, Hrvoje Slovene House Secrets: Industrial Tales in one of the World's Most Contaminated Cities: Kabwe, Zambia For the past five years, my primary focus in photography has been to document abandoned, nineteenth-century factories and industrial spaces, as well as to show the irreparable damage modem industrialism has had on the global environment and its population. By photographing the devastating effects on local neighborhoods wrought by factories and industry, my intention has been to show how seemingly isolated problems have contributed to the global environmental crisis we are witnessing today. To date this project has taken me to Manchester, England-the birthplace of the industrial revolution; to Cleveland, Ohio; and Zagreb, Croatia. With the generous help of the Mortimer Hays- Brandeis Traveling Fellowship, I expanded this project to include Kabwe, Zambia. The mining of lead there by a Chinese-based company continues to put the population of hundreds of thousands at serious risk. Through my photographs, I showed the impact of modem industrialism on the real, day-to-day experiences of people and their industrialized habitats. Although my original intention was to visit and document the effects oflead pollution in Kabwe, Zambia; Linfen, China; and Dzerzhinsk, Russia, I found a plethora of material in Zambia, and spent the majority of my time there. I first visited Kabwe in June 2007 and stayed there for three months. During that time I got in touch with local NGOs and familiarized myself with their work on the field. During that time I also became aware of the scale of the lead pollution problem on the location.
