Farmworkers and their families deserve a better life. Farm workers are now treated worse than under apartheid. Their children are chased from the farms when they reach the age of 18. Conditions of many houses on farms are equivalent to pig sties.

Farm workers are coming together on 21 September 2019 for better work and living conditions on farms.
The purpose of the march is to stop exploitation, low salaries, farm evictions and slave labor on farms. Labor brokers and piecework just worsens the poverty of farmworkers.
The march of 21 September 2019 is to call on the international wine monopoly such as Systembolaget in Sweden, Vinomopolet in Norway and Alko in Finland to use their power to help create better working conditions for farm workers in South Africa.
