This eviction in Paarl came days after President Cyril Ramaphosa assured farmworkers in Citrusdal that his party would support farmworkers in their fight against evictions and oppression.
Co-director of WFP Carmen Louw told Parlybeat the issue of tenure security is closely linked to broader land and agrarian reform.Current legal instruments such as Esta give farmworkers limited protection, and farmers learnt how to use these loopholes in legislation. They only need to provide accommodation to farmworkers while they are in their employ and when you reach long-term occupier status,” Louw explained.
