 These were the first white collar jobs Africans were allowed to do in the colonial days 

Copy typist

Special documents, files and letters needed to be typed and white masters in top offices do not have time to do such work due to their busy schedules in court and critical meetings. Africans who could read and write or identify alphabets were trained to use typewriters and employed as copy typists. A typist could make good money depending on their speed, efficiency and confidentiality.
