5.1 ST MALO FARM St Malo farm employed a total of 133 workers: 22 were permanent and the rest were seasonal. Following an interaction with the workers and the inspection of the accommodation, the committee observed that employees had repeatedly complained about the state of accommodation to the employer but nothing had been done. Walls were cracking even though workers paid R140 per month for accommodation (rent). There was no running water. Workers used pit toilets which were broken and the conditions were generally unhygienic. In addition, workers complained of exorbitant food prices from the farmer's shop.
