The Wages Act (1925) was an act of the Parliament of South Africa which established a Wage Board which fixed minimum wages for workers not covered by industrial councils. [1] It excluded farm labourers, domestic servants, and public servants. White workers were the main beneficiaries of this legislation because it prevented black workers from undercutting "civilised" levels of wages.
