This \u201cmake the country ungovernable\u201d demand is an old ANC clarion call, and now it has turned on the ruling party with a vengeance. Incongruously, it now emanates from ANC representatives in the Western Cape, the mother province of South Africa, and the home of the country\u2019s world-famous wine and fruit industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;On the face of it, farm workers are \u201cup in arms\u201d about their wages. Rioting, killing, burning and general mayhem have occupied SA\u2019s media over the past week, but as it so often happens in this country, there are other dimensions and agendas at play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;A monumental political power struggle is reaching its zenith in South Africa: the Western Cape is run by the official opposition the Democratic Alliance (DA), and despite unabated ANC pronouncements about the \u201cnew democratic order\u201d under their stewardship, they cannot abide opposition. They do not understand democracy: they came to power through the barrel of a gun \u2013 intimidation, murder and violence were always their hallmarks, and their surrogates now use the same tools to create mayhem in the Cape agricultural industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The ease with which striking workers at Marikana\u2019s platinum mine recently obtained a huge wage increase has emboldened the forces of chaos in the Western Cape. \u201cStriking workers\u201d is the term assigned to those who blocked farm roads, intimidated those employees who did not want to strike, burnt vineyards, fruit orchards and wheat crops, and set fire to farm houses, warehouses, forklifts, trucks and farm offices. One farmer was dragged from his bakkie (truck) and severely assaulted, while a farm worker was shot by the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;Excerpts from the Facebook page of Food and Allied Workers\u2019 Union general secretary Barry Stemmet reveals a vicious campaign to \u201cget\u201d the farmers. The hatred emanating from his followers is breathtaking, and once again shows the racial friction that smoulders under the surface in the ANC\u2019s so-called non- racial South African democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;None other than the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ms. Joemat-Pettersson was seen toyi-toying with strikers at a rally in De Doorns: she told the striking workers they had \u201cwon\u201d their battle because they had made the government (of which she is, ironically, a member) listen. \u201cYou will go down in the history books as the people who changed agriculture forever\u201d, she said. Indeed! If the strikers have their way, agriculture could change so much that the country will starve under the stewardship of the ANC and their minister of agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;She also told the strikers that no worker would face criminal or disciplinary charges for taking part in the strike and that she would speak to the National Prosecuting Authority to ensure that all cases of intimidation and public violence would be withdrawn. In effect, she gave the mobs carte blanche to carry on with their destruction of an industry that took three hundred years to build up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;\u201cSetting a precedent that it is acceptable to use violence and intimidation to gain economic and political ends is extremely dangerous\u201d said <i>Business Day(15.11.12).<\/i>. But has South Africa forgotten how the ANC and their communist allies came to power? While \u201cnegotiating\u201d, they maintained their armed struggle. Negotiating was only one leg of the struggle. Violence was the more powerful leg, and it worked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">THE BLAME GAME<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The agriculture minister blames farmers and the opposition for the Cape mayhem \u2013 they are trying to create \u201can apartheid colonial state\u201d, she declared. (These buzz words are becoming more frequent as the ANC\u2019s annual conference nears and the country falls apart under its stewardship. (These same racially-inflammatory comments were made by Zimbabwe\u2019s Robert Mugabe to stir up his ramshackle followers at pre-election time. Uganda\u2019s Idi Amin used the same tactic to arouse hatred against whites and Indians in his country, only to see them leave and Uganda descend into destitution.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The commercial farming sector is not going to sit idly by if this anarchy spreads. Reports are coming in of wholesale violence, burning and farm occupations. The police and the SANDF are wary of doing anything to stop the chaos. Farmers must defend themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">WAGES<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The strike apparently started as a complaint about minimum wages. TAU SA president Louis Meintjes declared in a press release that considerations about minimum wages cannot be applied to the De Doorns area in isolation. Minimum wage rates (affirmed in legislation by the ANC government) are in place all over the country. If the package of fringe benefits is included \u2013 in some cases housing, medical care, schooling, subsidized food and transport \u2013 then the wage per se is much more than the cash wage figure. .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;TAU SA says the problems in De Doorns cannot be made the problem of the whole agricultural industry. Judging by comments of the ANC leader in the Western Cape Marius Fransman, it is clear that politics is playing a predominant role. The ANC clearly wants to destabilize the province in their efforts to regain to rid the Western Cape of the opposition DA. Fransman\u2019s hateful and malicious statements against farmers went unchallenged by the ANC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;(A thought: Imagine what the ANC is capable of if it loses its majority in Parliament. The ANC doesn\u2019t accept democracy and its tenet, an opposition. They pay lip service to democracy when everything is going their way!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;On 14 November the government announced an immediate review of minimum wages for all farm workers as part of a deal with trade unions purportedly representing farm workers in the Western Cape, although only 6% were unionized at the beginning of the violent strikes. This will have dramatic implications for the agricultural sector. Government says a notice will be published announcing the cancellation of existing wage determination affecting all agricultural workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;But, says TAU SA\u2019s president, \u201cno worker is forced to stay with an employer. Workers must seek work where they can obtain the best salary\u201d. Further dismissals are on the cards if minimum wages are increased. \u201cAn employer who provides for R20 000 in his monthly salary budget is faced with an increase of 50% or 100%, then he could demand R5 000 for a ton of maize and R50 for a kilogram of tomatoes\u201d says Mr. Meintjes. \u201cThese actions and counter-actions could lead to the destruction of the South African economy\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">The staple food of farm workers, cultural origins aside, is maize. Between January 2011 and January this year, the price rose by 41,3% and 63,9%, depending on the quality. Some workers told journalists they cannot afford to buy food, but as their wages go up, food will increase again, and a spiral will continue to increase until inflation ravages the whole country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">TAU SA DEMANDS<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;In letters to the Minister of Police, TAU SA says there is a perception the police are afraid of a zero tolerance policy regarding criminal elements which have intimidated farm workers who want to work. Protestors have been bussed in from other areas to create havoc on farms and to put private property at risk. TAU SA has access to the Facebook page of Barry Stemmet, Western Cape Regional Secretary of the Food and Allied Workers\u2019 Union where he advertises that he is \u201con my way to Ceres \u2013 the farms are burning\u201d and that \u201cfarmworkers are fed up with slavery\u201d, and that things \u201cwill be worse tomorrow\u201d. \u201cWe are not at the point of seeking agreements, too much work to do\u201d, he says on his page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">He sweeps up his fans who greet him with \u201cI\u2019m with you\u201d, \u201cthe struggle continues\u201d, \u201cIs there a lot of damage\u201d, \u201cstrength to you \u2013 let them burn down the farms, these farmers are bad and they want to hold us hostage with \u2018food security\u2019\u201d. \u201cGive the farmers hell, Barry\u201d says another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;Other comments from Stemmet supporters include \u201cTerreblanche fell from his horse, now the farmers will run away from our stones\u201d, \u201dFight the good fight, leader. We defeated them before \u201dand \u201cAmandla, Comrade Barry, long live the spirit of no surrender!\u201d Politics is all over this Facebook page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;\u201cIf the police cannot get control of the situation, farmers are willing to help solve the problem\u201d says TAU SA, but clearly the problem is now bigger than the question of farm wages \u2013 it has developed into a full-scale war to take the Cape from the official opposition. ANC head in the Western Cape Marius Fransman has joined the fray, and his vitriolic remarks about farmers are unprintable in an international bulletin. His hate speech remains undisciplined by the ANC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;Anarchy is on the horizon. It can spread like wildfire throughout the country. COSATU trade union Western Cape secretary Tony Ehrenreich is reported to have said that \u201cthere is already blood on the farmworkers, and unless it stops, there will be blood on the farmers of these farms\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The ANC\u2019s chickens have come home to roost. In a letter to the ANC, TAU SA says what is happening is the result of the ANC\u2019s policies: dissatisfaction with government promises not being met, no service delivery, the bloated bureaucracy receiving fat salaries with no commensurate input; the inflow of aliens from the rest of Africa who work for less than South Africans; seasonal workers who only work parts of the year; and the unwillingness of the police to take action because of the Marikana fiasco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;The real thorn in the flesh is the blatant and ostentatious profligacy of the ruling elite \u2013 luxury homes, lavish life styles, local commuting in Gulfstream jets; and the fraud, corruption and the uncaring and contemptuous manner in which the ANC ruling party treats its hard-working citizen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">&nbsp;\u201cThe 37 000 commercial farmers in South Africa are increasingly held responsible for the socio-economic problems in the country\u201d says TAU SA. The government must sort out its own employment problems. \u201cSalary is the price of labor, and the farmer is a price taker who has to be satisfied by whatever he is offered for his products\u201d, says TAU SA. Mechanization could be the answer, as it is in Australia and the United States and other developed countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;\">We only have to look at Zimbabwe to see what chaos ensues when farmers are chased off their land. For 51 million people, this is a scenario<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> too <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">horrible to contemplate.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAKE THE COUNTRY UNGOVERNABLE SAYS ANC GOVERNMENT SUPPORTERS! &nbsp;Is the irony of this lost on the ANC?
