Special Report Transcript Episode 74, Section 3, Time 26:28

There is an accusation that precisely because it was black labour and because of the nature of the racism, in fact that black lives were considered expendable, that the mining industry did compromise when it came to questions of safety. // Firstly I think that a suggestion that management in the mining industry had deliberately chosen unsafe methods of mining rather than safe methods of mining is one I would absolutely reject. I think apart from anything else it suggests that there is only one colour of people who work underground. I think it’s a strange and a thoroughly wrongheaded suggestion.
