MEC of Health Marius Fransman and MEC of Agriculture Cobus Dowry visited Broodkraal Farm yesterday to address thousands of farm workers about difficulties they are facing in the farms.

MEC Fransman said farm workers need to be cared for just like any other worker.

Fransman also addressed them about their health support. He says that there are too many farm owners who are not looking after their workers in the Western Cape.

He also urged farm owners to increase minimum wage at a certain percentage.
