Uitlander

Uitlander, Afrikaans for "foreigner" (lit. "outlander"), was the name given to expatriate migrant workers during the Witwatersrand Gold Rush in the independent Transvaal Republic following the discovery of gold in 1886. The limited rights granted this group in the independent Boer Republics was one of the contributing factors behind the Second Boer War.
