The police and farmers from Iswepe, near Piet Retief in Mpumalanga on 18 July 2019, cemented some steady relationships in the community.

The Quarterly Labour Force Survey by Statistics South Africa shows the potential labour force of South Africa increased by 8 million people in the past thirteen years.
