Cape Town - A Community Advisory Services group based in Kraaifontein says 80 farmworkers who were involved in an accident last month when the truck they were travelling in overturned on the R44 off-ramp just before Durbanville last month have not received any help from their employer.
According to CAS member Linda Phito, the dissatisfied group of farmworkers is claiming that they have also not received their wages.
“Some of the farmworkers who were involved in the incident that occurred in Paarl late last month approached us for assistance. They told us that since the accident, their employer has not settled their benefits, sick leave, or gave them their wages.”
