iGoli City of Gold

Nineteen thirteen is a difficult time for the native population of South Africa. The Native land act forces tenanted black farmers from the land and into exile in their homelands. Living in such an unproductive place they have little choice if they are to survive but to work in the gold mines of the Witwatersrand. The mines are a source of great wealth, acting as an attraction to all types of villains and vagabonds who flood into the goldfields. Some look to an honest living and one such young man arrives with his family to the shores of South Africa in search of his fortune. The temptation of easy money is too much of a temptation and so it is not long before he is mixing with the more unsavoury elements of Johannesburg society.
