Acting Minister of Labour Angie Motshekga said that the South African government is pleased that farm worker groups and labour unions have made the call to end the farm worker strike in De Doorns and other areas in the Western Cape.

Speaking at Parliament earlier today, she said government has done everything in its power to bring both farmer groups and their representatives and the farm workers around the table for negotiations.

She appealed to all farm workers and all protesters to stop the vandalism to stop the vandalism.

“The government would like to thank Congress of South African Trade Unions for assisting and helping to break the impasse” Motshekga said.

“We would also like to thank Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Tina Joemat-Petterson for proactively engaging in the process of seeking a resolution” the Minister added.
