Apart from de managerial level, some lower positions are also held by indians e.g in factory dept alone, de fuel clerks, cane yard supervisor, are indians.Ny lehiben'ny ratsana rehetra sy ireo lehiben'ny sampana dia indiana, ho famitinana, ao amin'ny ambaratongam-pitantànana fotsiny dia misy indiana 36 farafahakeliny ao amin'ny Scoul, ireo toerana ambany sasantsasany ihany koa dia tazonin'ireo indiana: ohatra ny ao amin'ny sampana (fizarana) fotsiny, ireo mpiasa tompon'andraikitra amin'ny famatsiana solika ary ireo (contre-maitre) any amin'ny saha fambolena fary dia indiana.
29So there's a minimum of 100 indians employed in scoul.Noho izany misy mpiasa indiana 100 farafahakeliny ao amin'ny Scoul.
