Thousands of farmworkers throughout the province are expected to benefit from a R250,000 donation of food packages.

Friday The Oceana Group donated the money on.

Farmworkers from eight areas, which are affected by the strike will be receiving food parcels.

In November, 16 provincial farming areas went on a strike for an increased wages of R150 per day.

The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department's Palesa Mokomele said Oceana surprised them with the donation, after the department made an appeal to the private sector and government for the food parcels.

“Oceana will officially bring us the food early next week, and the communities will receive their food before Christmas” Mokomele said.
