Clashes continue in Robertson between local & migrant farmworkers

Fresh violence has broken out in the Western Cape involving farm labour disputes among locals and migrants nationals.

Public order police officers have been dispatched to Robertson’s Nkqubela township, following clashes between workers on Friday morning.

Several people have been injured, informal homes damaged while others were destroyed by fire.

The Robertson’s Rural Legal Centre has been warning of tension rising among local and migrant farmworkers, especially those from Southern Africa.

These came to a boiling point earlier in the day when clashes broke out between the rival groups.

The centre said farmers in the region had also been neglecting their role in ensuring job opportunities to locals.
