What reading level is The South African Scene book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the modern gold mine is the most wholly unromantic spot imaginable. It has considerable mechanical and scientific interest, especially as regards the elaborate processes brought to bear on the extraction of the gold from the rock in which it lies embedded. But the only thing which one must never expect to see at a gold mine is gold itself. It is well to be clear on that point at the start, so as to avoid disappointment. The processes disclosed in the course of a visit to a mine are very remarka...ble, but gold is never present visually during any of them. Lumps of the precious metal sticking to the stamps or the sides of the cyanide vats must not be looked for here. All that one sees from first to last is, first, the mining and pounding of hard grey rock, and then the thumping and washing of soft grey mud. It was my good fortune to be shown the process above and below ground by Sir Lionel Phillips himself, to whose kindness I was indebted for a most interesting visit to the Crown Mines.
A coal mine and a gold mine underground are very different things.
