Indentured Indian labour was first imported by sugar planters in the second half of the nineteenth century. On the expiration of their indentures ,
many Indians turned to market gardening and trading, or were attracted to the coal mines of northern Natal. Their success prompted the entry into the Colony of a second category of immigrants known as "free passenger Indians", who were mainly raders and artisans.
