Hon Deputy Chairperson and hon Minister, the lawmakers that you are saying are protecting the racists
organisations who are forever ill-treating our people on farms cannot include the EFF. The EFF is very vocal about the protection of the rights of farm workers including farm dwellers. So, that excludes the EFF.
Farmers live under inhumane conditions. Farm workers work under inhumane treatments; they are not even treated properly. They are not even compensated properly. They work about dangerous products in the grape farms in the Upington area. They die and are sent home with absolutely nothing.
What is the plan of your department in making sure that these farmers are monitored and these farm workers are recorded and if something happens they are compensated properly and are sent home with dignity? Thank you.
