The Food and Allied Workers Union
has called for an urgent redistribution of farms that are unable to pay minimum
wages.
Fawu said some farm owners who have
applied for exemption with the Department of Labour from the new minimum wage
of R105 a day are essentially delaying paying the minimum wage.
People Against Suffering Oppression
and Poverty Director Braam Hanekom said there is an urgent need to redress
injustices of the past.
Hanekom said government does need to
subsidize farms they are clearly underperforming and this should clear be under
land reforms.
