The Food and Allied workers union held a mass recruitment drive in Witfontein, North West on Sunday.

Fawu’s North West Provincial Secretary Tseleng Tau said the recruitment was aimed at recruiting farmworkers to assist those that have been unfairly dismissed, retrenched and evicted on farms. 

Tau said that as the union they are saying that they understand that the farmers are saying that they can’t afford to pay the workers the minimum wage.

He added that if they can prove to them as Fawu that they cannot afford to pay the workers they need to prove it by giving them the audited financial statement for five years.

“So that we can check how their performance was for the past five years,” added Tau.
