18 March 1922
The strike by mineworkers on the Witwatersrand, also known as the Rand Revolt, ended on March 18 1922. The rebellion was a response by White mineworkers to a perceived injustice that Black miners were taking jobs that ought to have been reserved for them. During the revolt, more than 200 people were killed, and more than a thousand were injured.  The strike also put thousands out of work and caused a devastating loss in coal and gold production.
