The Congress of South African Trade Unions visited the farm workers and farm dwellers who are being threatened with illegal eviction by the new owner of the farm at Rietfontein.
The new owner bought the
farm in 1999 after the old owner sold it to him but he did not explain anything
to those farm workers and farm dwellers who were born on that farm.
COSATU NW provincial
Secretary Solly Phetoe said the farm workers have been served with papers from
the lawyers of the new owner saying that within thirty days they must have left
the farm or they will be evicted.
“We call on all relevant
departments to make sure that farm workers are protected and not evicted
without proper accommodation, with water and electricity, and that children are
able to go to school Phetoe added.
