Lo mhla usukela kwiziganeko eziliqela zokuxhatshazwa nokujongelwa phantsi, nokunyhashwa kwamalungela abasebenzi. Intsusa yeziziganeko isukela kwilixa lobandlululo phansti komthetho wama Koloniyali. Ingoma yongasekhoyo u Hugh Masekela ethi "Stimela" yavotelwa ukuba ibe ngumhobe wesizwe ukukhumbula iziganeko ezingqamene nolusuku^[1]. Ezinye zeziganeko ezihamba phambili ngokunhyashwa kwamalungelo nezikhokelele ukuba ingoma ka Masekela ibe yiyo esetyenziswayo ukubhiyozela olusuku, sisiganeko sika Loliwe, owayethatha amadoda amnyama ezwekazi i Afrika ewathuthela kwimigodi yaseGoli ngenjongo zokuba basebenze kulemigodi ukuze bakhele amaKoloniyali ubutyebi.

Oonomayini ngokwembhali, kwaqala ngabo ukuhlukunyezwa nokunyahswa kwamalungelo abo kwindawo zokusebenza.
