EFF itself is workers’ greatest enemy
5 November 2020
It is ironic that the EFF is requesting a debate in Parliament on the treatment of farm workers while the party itself is the greatest enemy of South African workers.
The EFF's attack on farmers, however, does not come as a surprise given their ideologically driven and stereotypical obsession with race.
The truth is that the agricultural sector is one of the country's main economic pillars, even in the current dire economic situation with the highest unemployment rate to date, and it is still one of the country's most stable job providers despite the recession and pandemic.
If one takes into account that there are many other challenges, like farm attacks, droughts as well as diseases and pests among crops and livestock, it becomes clear just how exceptionally well the agricultural sector is faring in these challenging times.
