The Witwatersrand Native Labour Association , more usually known by its initials WNLA or more popularly as Wenela was set up by the gold mines in South Africa as a recruiting agency for migrant workers. Eventually it comprised a large organisation, with its own depots, buses and aeroplanes ref http eu.airliners.net photo Wenela Douglas DC 4 0038437&tbl photo info&photo nr 1&sok WHERE 28airline 3D 27Wenela 27 29 &sort order by photo id DESC &prev id &next id NEXTID ref , spread over the whole of Southern Africa South Africa, Basutoland , Swaziland , South West Africa , Bechuanaland , Northern Rhodesia , Southern Rhodesia , Nyasaland , Angola , Mocambique , extending into the Belgian Congo and Tanganyika . Each depot had administrative and medical staff and a barracks to house recruits both before departure and on their return. Some had clinics and even schools, where the recruits were taught, first, Fanagalo , the lingua franca of Southern Africa fifteen hours of tuition was enough to be useful , and then the rudiments of what mining was all about. Tours were usually of six months duration, but many spent their entire working lives as migrant workers. In Northern Rhodesia now Zambia the Government had instituted a hut tax of quite a small amount, payable annually for each hut. It was a form of tribal initiation for each teenager to go down to the mines for at least one tour, and would bring back enough money to pay the hut tax for the entire village. Thus Fanagalo became the lingua franca of the whole of Southern Africa.
