Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This thesis explores the ways in which migrant labour infrastructure and the related operating
practices of the South African colonial administration impacted on workers in and from the
colonial north-central part of Namibia, formerly known as Ovamboland. This study stretches
from the Union of South Africa’s occupation of the region in 1915 up to 1954 when the last
Native Commissioner for Ovamboland completed his term of office and a new administrative
phase began. Infrastructure refers to the essential facilities that an institution or communities
install to use in order to connect or communicate.4 Vigne defines infrastructure as the mode
of connections between techniques, practices, social values, cultures, economies and politics.5
This dissertation deals with two types of infrastructures.
