Description
In this book, black South African farm workers describe their working lives in their own words. Six million people - labourers and their families - are virtually no better off than slaves. The law guarantees them neither paid sick leave nor holidays, neither a guaranteed minimum wage nor overtime payments. They can be dismissed and evicted at the whim of their employers. Children and women are particularly at risk of exploitation.
