Koster- The Congress of South African Trade Unions has learned that families who were illegally evicted by a farmer in the area of Koster by the racist farmer called Snyman more than five years ago, are struggling with no food, no IDs, children without birth certificates and with poor accommodation.

The farmer dumped the two families from the farm next to the Tshedimosetso primary school many years ago and he never came back to check them. The school has had to try and accommodate the families in the school premises up to today.

The worse situation is that the first family of 12 people with young kids are staying in one room, and the other is staying in one room with 21 people, in the same conditions as the others.

“We call on the Departments of Home Affairs, Social Development and Health, and the police to join us during our visit to the farm on Tuesday at 12H00” Cosatu Solly Phetoe said.

Phetoe said this how poor farm workers with their families are being treated by white farmers and brutally killed in the long run.

“We are told that most of families are sick due to hunger and many other things” he said.

The two families are Jobonto and Vertein.

Cosatu invite the media to be there at their visit to the farm on Tuesday, and plead with media to expose such criminality created by white farmers.-TDN
