The Rand Rebellion (Afrikaans: Rand-rebellie; also known as the 1922 strike) was an armed uprising of white miners in the Witwatersrand region of South Africa, in March 1922. Jimmy Green, a prominent politician in the Labour Party, was one of the leaders of the strike. Following a drop in the world price of gold from 130 shillings (£6 10s) per fine troy ounce in 1919 to 95s/oz (£4 15s) in December 1921, the companies tried to cut their operating costs by decreasing wages, and by weakening the colour bar by promoting cheaper black mine workers to skilled and supervisory positions.

  • La révolte du Rand (ou rébellion du Rand) est une révolte armée des mineurs afrikaners de la région du Witwatersrand, survenue en mars 1922 dans une période de dépression économique, afin de défendre leurs privilèges sociaux et raciaux, acquis selon le principe du Colour Bar. La sanglante répression du mouvement ouvrier jette le discrédit sur le gouvernement sud-africain de Jan Smuts et aboutit à une alliance électorale entre le parti national de James Barry Hertzog et le parti travailliste du colonel Frederic Creswell, vainqueur des élections générales de 1924.
