        This a tip of the iceberg. Farm workers Have gone through a lot in SA, and still do. “In his last anxious hours before being mauled by a pride of lions, a farmworker tried to escape from his captors but was assaulted and overpowered.”https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/accused-tells-how-they-fed-man-to-lions-232269 …

        This incident is like 13 years old. Can we speak about current events? Not that I am saying that farm workers are not suffering.

        Incidents of farm workers being dropped off on the nearest public road to fend for themselves after years of service, nothing to show for it after getting expelled like dogs go back from time immemorial. Now we must pretend such people have just vanished.

        Shit man that is everyone's fate if you are not educated and qualified. Do you think my husband and I have a pension fund? Do you think we have medical aid? His boss can kick him out after 10 years tomorrow and we will also have nothing to show for it.

        Did the farmer do it, or did your grandparents decide?

        You decided? But now it's the farmers fault. We all have to start taking responsibility for our choices.

        The sad reality is that people seem to think they know everything there is to know. When I hear politicians like Senator Nick McKim making uninformed judgements on this issue, I cringe. Isn't the first thing to do to get all the facts and not blindly follow a populist rhetoric?

        Are they not allowed to bring up farmers being murdered?

        Do this farmer's also report on how they rape and murder their domestic workers or it's just one sided.
