Parade float promoting South African gold mining (goud in Afrikaans), during the apartheid era, Durban, South Africa, 1966. The tractor is pulling a trailer with gold-miners on it ‘drilling’ for the precious metal. It’s very much a white audience viewing this event. This image is from an old amateur 35mm Kodak colour transparency.
