Farmworker's increase to come into effect from today

───   09:44 Fri, 01 Mar 2013

The new minimum wage for farmworkers must be implemented from today. Farmers have until today to apply to be exempted from increasing their workers' wages. Earlier this month the Labour department announced the new minimum wage will be R105 a day, up from R69. Nosey Pieterse, general secretary of farmworkers union, Bawusa, says they're not happy with the exemption process.
