|

Thousands of South African farm workers are set to renew strikes in the Western Cape wine
region in demand for higher wages. Similar strikes led to clashes with police that resulted in the death of
two workers.
Union leaders have already warned they will not be able to control the strike, which is expected to attract mostly non-union members.
Cosatu provincial leader Tony Ehrenreich said: "Cosatu can’t call an end to this strike because these are not our workers. We are staring at a Marikana situation where workers are acting on their own."
The strike is due to
begin at a critical time when table-grape farmers around Paarl and
stone-fruit farmers from Ceres will start harvesting.
