The recent farmworkers’ strike over higher daily wages has
been given encouragement by the Building and Allied Workers Union of SA
(Bawusa), after the organisation told workers that a return to work may ruin
any chances of farmers caving into their R150 wage demand. The union announced
last week it that it was planning to march to the De Doorns police station on
Thursday 24 January to call for a strike without violence on both sides. The
general treatment of farmers has also come under scrutiny of late, and the South
African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is investigating over 20 complaints of
brutality against farmworkers by police, farmers, and private security.
