Government’s 50% plan unconstitutional – Grain SA

In its latest newsletter, GSA strongly condemned government’s proposal that commercial farmers should concede 50% of each farm to farm workers.

GSA’s legal advisor, Advocate George Bizos, said such a proposal would be unconstitutional and that the ANC would probably not garner enough support in the next elections to be in a position to change the Constitution.

He further advised that GSA should proceed to assist new black farmers to become established as successful commercial grain farmers and to table proposals to improve the circumstances of farm workers.
