The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is working on setting up a Hotline which will iron out problems faced by farm dwellers.

Minister of Agriculture is quoted as saying that they will set up a national Hotline for the farm dwellers, so that those farm workers who are being abused or illegally evicted can access assistance.

She also announced that progress was being made towards hosting a number of provincial mini farm-dweller summits, followed with a national summit later this year.

The minister was speaking at the Ministers and Members of Executive Council Meeting.

She assured the meeting that the department would do things differently year.
