Abstract
This article argues that Sebatakgomo — a migrant worker based political organization formed from within the ANC in 1954 — played a crucial role in the events that culminated in the Sekhukhuneland Revolt of 1958. It places the emergence of the movement in the context of changing patterns of migrant employment and association from the 1930s. And it traces Sebatakgomo's involvement in mounting popular resistance in the eastern Transvaal to state attempts to restructure rural society in the 1950s.Keywords
