Capitalist labor demand contradicts South Africa’s categorical containment strategy.

Evidence

Around that time, furthermore, what had been an urban labor shortage shifted to a labor surplus, so that African unemployment concentrated increasingly in cities and townships rather than rural reserves. South Africa’s rulers had to manage the contradiction between treating Africans as conquest-formed Natives and recognizing them as capitalistcreated workers. The contradiction led to costly efforts at segregating residence and sociability while drawing more and more Africans into the urban and industrial labor forces (Murray 1987, chap. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 570
