The Congress of South African Trade
Union in the North West has
condemned the alleged intimidation of farmworkers.
This is after a farmworker was
assaulted by a group of farmers on a farm in Kleinfontein.
Cosatu’s Provincial Secretary Solly
Phetoe has called for an end to intimidation of poor workers and for employees
to respect the law.
Phetoe said we are asking the police
to protect the police not the farmers who have money that they can protect
themselves.
Phetoe added that it is alleged that
there are many cases that have been reported to the police and then there are
intimidations that they would retrench the workers if the case gets publish on
media.
