Categories | Agriculture news Minister: Farmers - 'avoid victimisation', farmworkers - 'refrain from violence'According to the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS), Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson has urged Agri SA and unions representatives to negotiate in good faith for farmworkers' minimum wage demand. The Farmworkers in De Doorns embarked on a strike early last month demanding R150 per day as well as improved living conditions. Updating reporters on the farmworkers strike Wednesday, Joemat-Pettersson called upon all farmworkers to return to work.
