Thank you, Chairperson. Outside the sectoral determination, can the Minister outline to this august House any socioeconomic programmes like housing, education and health as part of a holistic approach to bettering the lives of our vulnerable workers? Thank you.
The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES: Hon Chairperson, I thank the hon member. Yes, we would like to work towards collective bargaining for farm workers, and a number of farmer organisations, including AgriSA, have been engaged in working towards a system of collective bargaining. We believe that when we eventually have collective bargaining for farm workers there will be a better wage or labour dispensation as well as better conditions of service for farm workers.
In the meantime, with sectoral determination and work with the Minister of Labour, we have been able to see consistent and significant progress. Sustainable progress in the lives of vulnerable workers will come through service delivery, or in the form of socioeconomic development.
With the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform and our programmes on intervention into the rural economy, we have been able to be united in action towards socioeconomic freedom. [Time expired.] I thank you.
