520 $aThe Randlords were not just a group of extraordinary men (though they were that, and human personality is the salt of history), but their story, or rather the story of their mines, is the central story of South Africa for the last hundred years. A poor and unknown country became rich, famous and powerful all because of the mines. Governments were subverted and overthrown and bolstered up, because of gold. Everyone of the social and ethnic groups in the country has seen its history changed by mining. There has been a direct connexion between gold and the political systems of the country, the relationships between rulers and ruled, the continuing success of white supremacy. All that South Africa has been and has become relates directly to this one industry.
