UNEMPLOYMENT AND  MIGRANT  LABOUR,
No  published  figueres  are  available  on  the   unemployment
situation  in    Mozambique,   for there  is  no   Trade  Union  Organisation
for the   African people,  who  are   regarded  as   state   cheap labour
according  to   the  Portuguese   law and  policy  prevailing in whole
PortugalTs   colonies»'
The  situation is   said  to  be  worsening every year for the
arrival  of  many military  Service  men after termination of   their
service     decide   to  stay in  the   country,   Therefore   the   unemployment
among Africans   is  much greater.   The  new settlers  are   taking over
Africans  fertile lands.   And  because   of  this  policy,   the  Africans
seeking work in  the   mines  and  Sundary-and  other service  in  the
neighbouring  Soth Africa  and   Rhodesia  is   increasing  day by  day.
Ihougb no figures  are  available  it  is  believed  that
the  Mozambique   migrant  labour in   recent  years  has   been  stupendous
as  we   can   quote  numbers  of   19645   December,   31-   There   were   28 6,748
Mozambicans  working  outside   their home   land   of  whom  161,708  and
125*010  were   respectively  in   South  Africa  and   Rhodesia,   that  is,
9,775  and   5^169 more   than  those   registered  on December,31st   1963*
At  the   closed  of  1964 Mozambique  migrant  labour working in  the
Republic  ®f   South Africa  were  as  follow:-  Gold  mines   of W.W.   Rand-
~74?025>   Coal  mines  -  14*538;   mines   outside   the   -:.     "labour
districts1'1  -  1-7/906;   house  hold  and  sundry  service-55 >239-   Of  these
migrating  to   Rhodesia,   some   6,500  worked  on  the  mines,  while   the
ret  sought  work as  household   servants,   janitors,   messangers,
garage  boys   etc
As we   can  see  the   situation fen Mozambique  is  no  longer that   of
African man  can  en/oy his   life  as  human being and  owner of his
country. -     ••• *•■«   -
