Slaves were more harsh on the than labourers. Before the start to work labourers and are given a contract on how long they want to work. Which means they were given a specific amount of time that they had to work for them and after their contract they would be given a choice on what they want to do. They would get paid 2 British Pounds a month . They could trade their services for food, clothing and transportation. Most of the individuals are young ( 21 years old ).Others were asked to serve at homes doing some domestic services. But there services can be extended if they don’t obey the rules and laws . However slaves are never given freedom until they die or after a specific age. And have no rights at all. And don’t get paid. They are treated badly. They are bought and owned and are treated like objects. Slaves are unable to withdraw. They are forced to work against their will. A person can be turned into a slave from when they are born.

Servants typically worked four to seven years in exchange for passage, room, board, lodging and freedom dues. While the life of an indentured servant was harsh and restrictive, it wasn't slavery. There were laws that protected some of their rights.

Conditions were particularly bad for women. While a third of the indentured population was supposed to be female, there was only one woman to four men. Venereal disease was rife and women did not have their own ablutions, so they had to share with men. They also only received half the wages and rations the men did for the same amount of work.
1.Each worker was given about 250 grams of dried fish each week-this was their only luxury.

2.It was dark by the time they reached their homes,where they managed another brief meal before falling into exhausted sleep.Sundays were supposed to be free,but few planters observed this.

3.They worked,planting,digging,breaking new soil,cutting,harvesting,carrying,building,until sun set.

4.Before dawn every day, the sidar(foreman)rang a bell to wake the workers

In the 1600s the British had high demands for sugar because of the 2 recent discoveries , that fruit could be persevered in sugar and that sugar can go with jam. This increased tea drinking in Britain. They imported sugar from India because of the demand of sugar and they have already taken over India at the time. In the 18th century , the popularity of tea rose. The demand of sugar grew even more because of this demand and popularity. It grew so much they imported sugar from Europe and other countries. By 1750 sugar was most valuable in the European trade. Therefore the demand was at a great extend that they had to colonise Natal (the climate is perfect for sugar cane farming). And they imported indentured Indian labour.

Sugar Cane grew a lot in Natal long before colonists arrived. When the British arrived, they then started to do sugar cane plantations. Because there was a great demand of sugar in Britain. To grow Sugar Cane it needs a lot of labour. So the British asked the Zulu for the labour. But however the Zulu were already a independent society and weren’t willing to do the labour.

So the British turned to the Indians , at the time the British had colonised India so it was easy for them to use them as labour. In 1860 the SS Truro Arrived at Natal with over 300 Indians aboard.

Over the next 50 years 150 000 more Indians arrived in Natal and some ‘ free passengers’. They were given a monthly salary of 2 British Bounds. At the end of their 3 year contract they had a choice to be given a free passage back to India or agricultural land equivalent to the value passage back to India. Although they worked in sugar plantations ,but some still worked in coal mines.
