dc.description.abstractThe primary purpose of this research is to examine the production of history and oral history related to Golden Arrow Bus Services in Cape Town, with specific reference to the silences regarding the bus drivers’ strike in the early 1990s. The scope of the study is the production of a company history (of Golden Arrow Bus Services) to date and an analysis of how the strike of 1992 has been recorded.
