The cANCer are indeed smart....at stealing, lying and not caring at all about their people....the same people who will keep on voting for the state capturers because they will be given a t shirt and bucket of KFC at election time
The black people of South Africa were led to believe that when Apartheid was abolished and they got to elect their government in 1996, all of the economic, social, and political inequalities of the Apartheid era would disappear. Everyone would live in middle-class housing, with modern social services, and middle class incomes. Poverty would be abolished. Unemployment would disappear. What a let-down to discover that little improvement occurred, and a new class of indigenous political exploiters took the place of the white government oppressors. The economy did not magically expand to raise the average income. Crime became rampant. Poverty and lack of education remain. Being a citizen with voting rights is not a passport to an easy life.
no body believed that but fools. People knew life after Apartheid would be difficult. Mandela never told anyone those ridiculous claims. All they really promised was electricity(notice the poles in the shacks), and better housing for the poor, and to be FREE. You know.
@@alexbaker9231 There is developing or developed countries, not first or third world. Using such terms strips 'third world' implied countries of all their value, cultures and just objectifies people as being less than human, the power of racism. You will also find this type of treatment of people who work on farms and factories across developed countries, most Western developed countries use migrants in the same manner, they do not receive liveable wages and work in appalling conditions .
@@thapelobeqeke8560 I won't argue about the balance of rich & poor in SA. But you should stop thinking in terms of race. Human exploitation is a matter of rich vs poor. Not white vs black. Rich people don't care who they exploit as long as they profit from it. Politicians (including black politicians) don't care if they sell out their poor to white farmers or black farmers. They just care about getting their palms greased with money. Every society is the same in this. The rich exploit the poor as much and as long as they are allowed to.
@Kelvin Klopper It is a free market system, nobody is forcing them to work there. If you dont like the pay find something else, if you cant then that is what you are worth to the economy.
@@chrisdeanjames2898 Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Free Market: an economic system in which prices are determined by unrestricted competition between *privately owned businesses*. There. I googled the definitions. You're utterly and completely wrong.
@@chrisdeanjames2898 What you're describing is a general description of a market, not a free market. A free market is deregulated market that involves unrestricted competition between private businesses. Socialism involves heavy regulation on the market and abolishment of private enterprise. Thus making the two incompatible. Being a condescending asswipe isn't going to suddenly make your invalid arguments suddenly valid.
I wonder why the nurse didn't council the folks living there to clean up their area, and plant some food of their own. Gather up the trash, and if you don't have a landfill, burn it. Petition the government for seeds, or even go to an NGO for help in obtaining them. It won't completely end the hunger there, but it will go a long way to tamping down on the diseases and supplementing their diets with fresh vegetables. I imagine the nurse likely councils them on the disease aspects, but maybe it will help if they explain the social behaviors that lead to them--and of course, birth control. I don't know if the current government is reasonable, but there are some relatively inexpensive ways to help.
Big guy where must they plant their cute gardens. Its called stofland for a reason. Soil is infertile and nobody is there to cultivate. Secondly, with no infrastructure and poor housing solutions, how do you expect them to have a clean living environment without trash all over the place if there aren't any refuse removal services.

I'm white, from a 1st world, English speaking country (The U.K) and when I went to Australia I picked grapes. Typical day was 10 hours in South Australian summer heat, 1 paid 15 minute break, 1 unpaid 30 min break a day, cash in hand wages were $15 an hour which is below the legal minimum wage in Australia. If you didn't work you didn't get paid. Where can I contact someone to make a documentary about me? At the end of the day most people around the world are doing this kind of shit job, there's plenty in "the west", not everyone can be an executive for Microsoft. That's real life, internet fantasists, get it through your heads.
Very arrogant hey. Wages arent the same in south africa as in Australia. Go learn some economics. $15 dollars an hour? Are you seriously making a comparison here. Dont say its coz South Africans arent educated either. I have a masters degree in biochemistry and i dont get paid that much an hour. Go fuck yourself in Australia...You're white...figure your shit out. You got a good head start....nxxxx!!!.

Tell that to the original white Afrikaners that established every modern industry that you see with blood sweat and tears. The difference comes from the fact that the white Afrikaners emphasized education from the home as well as continuing the family business, because of the importance of both. And the white Afrikaners figured it’s not their business to run other Afrikaners lives. The white government was strict but fair, and South Africa has never been as rich as 1980, at the time when the US was earning $12,000 per capita South Africa was earning $2000 per capita, and it was rising faster than the US, I used this metric as a comparison of wealth to the western world and now to achieve the same parity would be South Africa possessing a GDP per capita of $10,000. Hard work, perseverance, and personal values. Nobody was going to nanny you and tell you what you were doing wrong and the chances are you wouldn’t listen to them anyways if they did.
Poverty is not caused by laziness. It is caused by despair and the uneducated allowing a ruling elite to keep them uneducated and in poverty. They are easier to control. This is Marxism 101 This is why the ANC has set about to desroy the middle class as that is the thinking class and they dont want people to think. They want the poor and the elite nothing more
This type of poverty was rampant in Western Europe before and shortly after the Second World War. It takes generations of hard work to develop an economy and community, South Africa will lift itself up.
This type of poverty is still common for white people in western countries but the media doesn't care and focuses on non white people claiming racism. Poor white people are blamed for being lazy, ignorant and jokes are made about them. Poor non white people are portrayed as victims of racism. Don't blame the wine industry in South Africa for the lack of education of their workers. It's been over 20 years since apartheid ended and education amongst blacks has not improved because the government is incompetent.

To the "journalist": De Doorns is situated in the Hex River Valley. Before 1994, there were NO squatter camps. Almost ALL of those living in squatter camps there now, are NOT from the Western Cape region, having relocated from poorly managed ANC provinces and failed African states, as illegal aliens. They vote for socialists at home, then leave when they get what they voted for to invade an area, squat, then cause havoc and demand more free stuff, blaming everyone else for their problems. They keep on having children. If you can't afford to feed yourself, why have children? You make it seem like the farmers are to blame for low wages. Common sense tells you that an oversupply of labour pushes down wages, to the disadvantage of local labour. The squatters also bring crime to areas where before there was none. As for farmers not allowing workers toilet breaks, that is an utter b*llshit lie. Do better research and better reporting. Your reporting stinks and seems racist.
A story always have 3 sides. In this case it is YOUR story... the FARMERS' story and then the TRUTH. Your story is sensational and doesn't reflect the majority of farmers and their workers.

Not really. They don’t really attempt to do anything themselves, or experiment. You don’t want your child living in poverty take the time after work to ask around and think of a way to make it so they don’t.

We do get paid better but in reality there has not been a real pay raise in the US in 30 years despite the price of everything skyrocketing. We are working for the equivalent of minimum wage if had kept up with inflation. The true federal minimum wage in the US is below a real living wage so you have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet. The rich go from being millionaires to billionaires. They have sucked all of the money out of the middle class and now we basically just have a working class surviving from pay check to pay check and going deeper in debt.

Feelthefx I think you must mean modern. When you look at societies from the standpoint of the average human condition, then pretty much any other culture is going to be better at it than modern civilization, which is based on artificial environments. Absent efforts to affect "civilization," other people live more harmoniously and sustainably than we do. Where over population occurred, it is only where they were touched by outside influence. So, from that perceptive you could argue that other culture's natural condition is to be in balance in all ways, ours is not. The problem for them comes when they affect away of life that is not their own. You can see the same thing all over the world.
Feelthefx Check out the videos 'Face of Africa' and the new young black millionaires in Africa. One of them is a young woman. Its amazing what some of these young educated people are doing with their education after leaving good jobs. One of the farmers was a journalist and worked with TV, he gave it all up to start his farm.
I always see this product here in Canada whenever I go to the stores and looking at this people who works so had in this farms leaving in this condition is so overwhelming
Kelvin Klopper don’t be dumb we have many many other African migrants eg Zimbabwe migrant you want to work for much less and twice as hard and then our people complain that their jobs are being taken , point is the farmers will never run out of labour because the government just is getting worse getting back to ( the government they vote for )
The farm workers are free to leave and get another job, but the problem is nation wide. They should organize into big unions to get better work and living conditions.
hmmm.....this video is painting a very bad and slanted view of farmers in South Africa. Many of these people are illegally entering South Africa, taking jobs from locals (hence the spate of xenophobia), finding jobs illegally, sending money back to their home countries so, not really contributing to the local economy and yet complain about the country they have no legal right to be living and working in. Wages indeed should be much greater with better working conditions and this has to change but, virtually all of the locals vote for a government that has time and time again proven itself to be corrupt...financially, morally, spiritually. The ANC has had almost 3 decades to show South Africa some leadership when all it has done is rob the country blind. Yet they still are elected. Look at the government , not the farmers who employ you to make your life better. When African governments start to care about the people, Africa will succeed. Until that time, it will continue to fail.
What an idiotic comment illegal immigrants entering South Africa and finding employment. But let us not paint a bad picture of South African farmers who employ illegal immigrants, really.
When you work and live in a country you contribute to the economy. They pay taxes from the food they buy, electricity, water. Anything you do or consume is taxed and taken back to the govt even your employer pays tax for you working there. If you feel like foreigners are taking your jobs why don't you work extra hard and provide competitive services? That is how civilized people run an economy
Thats because whites in South Africa cant help Blacks much, they have taken soo much already dont you think its about time the Blacks start giving ANC is corrupt and dont give a shit about its people , and all people will do is vent it out on Whites , were only 13% of the population hardly 1% is very wealthy and even they have affirmative action implemented in their businesses
They DID and they DO still because they're the majority of the 3.2 million taxpayers who support a population of over 50m. BTW white Europeans and Americans are encouraged to practice contraception and it's almost abortionon demand: - this also is genocide.
I agree there is a lot of business who pay low wages to workers. Most of the individuals who do those work are immigrants. I do believe these businesses can pay their employees a bit more. 13 hours is alot yo work and only make $6 usd a day. I find that hard to survive off.
@@Iamstacy_a Thank you for you're worthless input. Perhaps a refresher in English might help make you a little more coherent!

There should be a documentary on south African government policies directed at eradicating poverty since 1994, I would like to see how much effort they have put in.
True for us working class the number of children will determine what type of life they and you will have, whites know this and this is why we only have 1 or 2 children, our parents had lots of children like the black people do and we all were poor and learnt from our parents not to have lots of children.
This is hard. No one should work 13 hours at a farm. The government should set a mandatory 8 hrs working period per day and 1 hr mandatory lunch. Any employer that violates that should be severely sanctioned.
This is bogus. For any farmer who wants to export produce, he needs to pass a strong audit from Globalcap. Being from a farm in the eastern cape where workers reside on the farm and take exceptional pride in their profession, seeing how things are in the Winelands made me laugh. At least 3 long breaks are taken through the day and the farmers need to take absolute care of their laborers. Obviously, there are farmers who can't achieve this, thus each case should be taken as an individual instance. I sympathize with the workers. Nobody needs to live in that conditions. But if research is done as to why labourers do not live on farms anymore and an interview of general workings on the farm is done with a farmer, this damn documentary would've looked a lot different.
Black lives in SA would be much better if there was a law of one child per family. Most black people believe that the more children you have the better. They will take care of you in your old age. But if they had only one child, that one child would have a much better chance of actually making it in live and actually caring for their parents. But no, Black people must have 4+ children even if they are even to poor to feed one.
Kevin Myers (born 30 March 1947) is an Irish journalist and writer. He writes for the Irish edition of the Sunday Times, having previously been a columnist for the Irish Independent and a former contributor to The Irish Times, where he wrote the "An Irishman's Diary" opinion column several times weekly. Until 2005, he wrote for the UK Sunday Telegraph. His articles criticise left-wing opinion and the "liberal consensus", sometimes incorporating hyperbole, sarcasm and parody. This essay appeared in The Irish Independent: Somalia is not a humanitarian disaster; it is an evolutionary disaster. The current drought is not the worst in 50 years, as the BBC and all the aid organisations claim. It is nothing compared to the droughts in 1960/61 or 73/74. And there are continuing droughts every 5 years or so. It's just that there are now four times the population; having been kept alive by famine relief, supplied by aid organisations, over the past 50 years. So, of course, the effects of any drought now, is a famine. They cannot even feed themselves in a normal rainfall year. Worst yet, the effects of these droughts, and poor nutrition in the first 3 years of the a child's life, have a lasting effect on the development of the infant brain, so that if they survive, they will never achieve a normal IQ . Consequently, they are selectively breeding a population who cannot be educated, let alone one that is not being educated; a recipe for disaster. We are seeing this impact now, and it can only exacerbate, to the detriment of their neighbours, and their environment as well. This scenario can only end in an even worse disaster; with even worse suffering, for those benighted people, and their descendants. Eventually, some mechanism will intervene, be it war, disease or starvation. So what do we do? Let them starve? What a dilemma for our Judeo/Christian/Islamic Ethos; as well as Hindu/Buddhist morality. And this is beginning to happen in Kenya, Ethiopia and other countries in Asia, like Pakistan. Is this the beginning of the end of civilisation? AFRICA is giving nothing to anyone outside Africa -- apart from AIDS and new diseases. Even as we see African states refusing to take action to restore something resembling civilisation in Zimbabwe, the Begging bowl for Ethiopia is being passed around to us out of Africa, yet again. It is nearly 25 years since the famous Feed The World campaign began in Ethiopia, and in that time Ethiopia's population has grown from 33.5 million to 78+ million today. So, why on earth should I do anything to encourage further catastrophic demographic growth in that country? Where is the logic? There is none. To be sure, there are two things saying that logic doesn't count. One is my conscience, and the other is the picture, yet again, of another wide-eyed child, yet again, gazing, yet again, at the camera, which yet again, captures the tragedy of children starving. Sorry. My conscience has toured this territory on foot and financially. Unlike most of you, I have been to Ethiopia; like most of you, I have stumped up the loot to charities to stop starvation there. The wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a low IQ, AK 47-bearing moron, siring children whenever the whim takes him and blaming the world because he is uneducated, poor and left behind. There is no doubt a good argument why we should prolong this predatory and dysfunctional economic,social and sexual system but I do not know what it is. There is, on the other hand, every reason not to write a column like this. It will win no friends and will provoke the self-righteous wrath of, well, the self-righteous hand wringing,letter writing wrathful individuals; a species which never fails to contaminate almost every debate in Irish life with its sneers and its moral superiority. It will also probably enrage some of the finest men in Irish life, like John O'Shea, of Goal; and the Finucane brothers, men whom I admire enormously. So be it. But, please, please, you self-righteously wrathful, spare me mention of our own Irish Famine, with this or that lazy analogy. There is no comparison. Within 20 years of the Famine, the Irish population was down by 30%. Over the equivalent period, thanks to western food, the Mercedes 10-wheel truck and the Lockheed Hercules plane, Ethiopia's population has more than doubled. Alas, that wretched country is not alone in its madness. Somewhere, over the rainbow, lies Somalia, another fine land of violent, AK 47-toting, khat-chewing, girl-circumcising, permanently tumescent layabouts and housing pirates of the ocean. Indeed, we now have almost an entire continent of sexually hyperactive, illiterate indigents, with tens of millions of people who only survive because of help from the outside world or allowances by the semi-communist Governments they voted for, money supplied by borrowing it from the World Bank! This dependency has not stimulated political prudence or common sense. Indeed, voodoo idiocy seems to be in the ascendant, with the president of South Africa being a firm believer in the efficacy of a little tap water on the post-coital penis as a sure preventative against AIDS infection. Needless to say, poverty, hunger and societal meltdown have not prevented idiotic wars involving Tigre, Uganda, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea etcetera. Broad brush-strokes, to be sure. But broad brush-strokes are often the way that history paints its gaudier, if more decisive, chapters. Japan, China, Russia, Korea, Poland, Germany, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 20th century have endured worse broad brush-strokes than almost any part of Africa. They are now -- one way or another -- virtually all giving aid to or investing in Africa, whereas Africa, with its vast savannah’s and its lush pastures, is giving almost nothing to anyone, apart from AIDS. Meanwhile, Africa's peoples are outstripping their resources and causing catastrophic ecological degradation. By 2050, the population of Ethiopia will be 177 million; the equivalent of France, Germany and Benelux today, but located on the parched and increasingly Protein-free wastelands of the Great Rift Valley. So, how much sense does it make for us actively to increase the adult population of what is already a vastly over-populated, environmentally devastated and economically dependent country? How much morality is there in saving an Ethiopian child from starvation today, for it to survive to a life of brutal circumcision, poverty, hunger, violence and sexual abuse, resulting in another half-dozen such wide-eyed children, with comparably jolly little lives ahead of them? Of course, it might make you feel better, which is a prime reason for so much charity! But that is not good enough. For self-serving generosity has been one of the curses of Africa. It has sustained political systems which would otherwise have collapsed. It prolonged the Eritrean-Ethiopian war by nearly a decade. It is inspiring Bill Gates' programme to rid the continent of malaria, when, in the almost complete absence of personal self-discipline, that disease is one of the most efficacious forms of population-control now operating. If his programme is successful, tens of millions of children who would otherwise have died in infancy will survive to adulthood, he boasts. Oh good: then what? I know, let them all come here.
This type of journalism is verging on sensationalism. No interviews with the employers ( who, from experience, comply to all employment regulations), no interviews with any local authorities, no reference to South African employment law, no single figure mentioned surrounding minimum wage, no competitive figures to similar industries in neighbouring countries....etc etc etc. Make no mistake the agrindustry ain't perfect by a long shot.........but it's employment and in a 3rd world environment if you have a job you are able to eat. Here's food for thought : The Western Cape (the province this documentary was filmed in.....again forgotten to be mentioned by the filmakers) contributes 24% to total GDP in South Africa. Agriculture has a total contribution to the GDP of the Western Cape of roughly 4%. But what is significant to note is that agriculture and agro-processing are responsible for 18% of employment opportunities in the province. Basically what I'm trying to get across.............Crap Journalism, Cheap Tricks to sell your product..........
I think more support for those children and their schools is the best thing that those of us who are outside of this community can do to help. Improved marketable skills will create more opportunities for them.
I know most of the farmers there. They’re good hard working people who are struggling aswell. A lot of work goes into farming especially in South Africa. We are in a drought . The farmers can only pay what they can afford. The reason for the poverty is because of the ANC government. Not the farmers. Also so many of those people are illegal immigrants. There are people there living in those shacks who have their own farms at home in Zimbabwe but they chose rather to live and work here.
R100 is enough to feed a family. They have work, do absolutely nothing to improve their living conditions. Plant lettuce as a start....Don't expect everyone to do everything for you.

@Ace Dude Hi Ace dude, very simple really. I assume you are not from a farming background? Nevertheless- farmers switch to less labor intensive crops. As an example: in the Western Cape farmers that normally farmed with table grapes(labor intensive)will switch to Wine grapes (fully automated). South Africa was also extremely slow to adopt the massive mechanization boom like in the rest of the world. This phenomenon is better known as “Diversification “ one of the first important fundamentals in new age farming. 😉
This farming story strikes a huge similarity with what’s happening also in Europe, uk,Spain,Italy,Portugal that I know of. To cut a long story short, people are being exploited because of their lack of education, becoming literarily slaves of these ruthless farmers......but of course not all farmers fit in the same bag.
It's not shocking that farms don't pay well, when the farm doesn't get paid much for what they produce. Food is worth so much more than what we pay for it.
weird how the principal grew up in the same place,but became a principal... like she says , pupils are using drugs,but still they are poor? what a waste of money...
Bad personal judgement regarding reproduction is why all of Africa is poor. Even in the US unless you are making hundreds of thousands annually you can only afford 2 children. Stop blaming everyone but those responsible for their misery.
The rotten food can be used as compost blend it in a blender and make compost juice to ad to ground dirt it will become rich dirt.that will grow good food.
Yeah, why does the govt just give up on that infertile soil? MAKE it fertile so the people can have little vegetable plots. Or just truck some fertile soil over to them. A charity org could easily make it happen, as well. It's almost like they want to keep the poor in their current state.
Blacks hardly ever create businesses and employment opportunities and the few wealthy who do, employ White Afrikaners who they can trust and are capable. President Ramaphosa as a case in point, only employs White Afrikaners to manage his various farm enterprises! One of the biggest problems in SA, excluding mass immigration through virtually open borders from the whole of Africa who are even worse off than SA, is the Child Grant of R400 per month equivalent to 28 Euro per month. For this parltry sum which is spent on alcohol the average school going girl/mother has three children (with unknown farthers) and three abortions between the age of 13 and 18! Most of these children are looked after by their more traditional and loving grandparents. Essential viewing on TouTube: Prof. Eugene Valberg: African Language and the African Mind.
The Hex River farming community one year bussed in hundreds of workers from zimbabwe to frustrate the local workers. When it was found out that they didn't have working permits home affairs hastily erected a mobile home affairs office. There is also a lot of suffering in the Ceres area.
During apartheid the people lived on the farms. They had houses and got food, a salary, clothes. My uncle slaughtered a cow for his workers each month, now years later they slaughtered him! So STUFF THIS SHIT!!!APARTHEID WAS WAY BETTER
Nonsense!! Who do you think is running those farms? The government? No, it's the beneficiaries of Apartheid. They are abusive and they do not believe in human rights, especially for those who do not look like them. Afrikaaners are the most hateful group of people to ever step the earth! Farms in SA are owned by Afrikaaners who happen to be the richest people in the country. They are rich through blood, sweat and tears of the poor. An Afrikaaner slaughtering a cow for workers who do not basic services does not make any sense! Majority of South African farms have terrible working conditions and this is because a lot of these farm owners still implement Apartheid policies on these farms. Don't mislead, Apartheid was better for the Afrikaans people at the demise of the rest.
It is a vineyard planted by an enlightened individual - thank him and his peers for building up the country and please stop making more people if things are bad in your neighborhood. Just common sense. Stop messing around with our farmers, or buy a seed and plant your own first grape plant - nobody will stop you. Then you will have your own vineyard in fifty years and then you can stop blaming others for everything.
We are tired. We are hungry. We have no money.... So let's have 10 kids and worry about how to feed them later... It's that mindset and your inability to think logically that determines that u are best suited to be in the farm fields using your hands and making as few decisions as possible.

I belong to a minority and I see that there is a lot of unfairness of the working conditions but something I noticed is that lots of poor people do not have the common sense to be healthy and clean and with that I mean that people have the power to be clean and surround themselves with order and a nice clean homes, in constrast they lack of conscience or selfaware, being poor does not mean being dirty or careless about others and surroundings, people need to be trained to be clean and orderly, just that will create a better sense of belonging to a community and everybody will feel better. There is no excuse about working to exhaustion to be clean and keeping everthing in place it is sad seeing all that garbage and the poor ones do not move a finger to make a have a better place to live.
It's in these people's nature to complain and seek sympathy - it has always been and will never change, its better than no job at all, what about the people with zero prospects and no money, the destitute and homeless, they are lucky they have jobs - Less babies made = more money in hand = better living conditions !
There aren't enough people opening business that have jobs for the working class in South Africa. People are begging for jobs and are willing to work for very little. The rich are taking advantage of this and as wrong as it is, that is how business works. To make things worse the government is stealing money that should have gone to helping these poor people.

Most of it is stolen from various houses and businesses, looted and burnt cars or other transport, copper stolen from electricity pilons etcetera, until all those shacks are built.
They get paid properly(minimum wage), they get their breaks properly and they dint seem abused by the farmers, so I don't see the problem with the farmers. Its lack of other opportunity for the workers and proper education for the children that is needed and that is the job of their government.
Auderi Elder... My goodness... you actually added your name to this?! I would have been so embarrassed to produce such a bias, one sided, and misinformed piece! Really?! I will give you some contact details of many farmers that will give you the their story of what is happening on the farms. They will allow you to shoot on their farms. You will see that the people you are talking to in the township are not 100% honest. Yes, there are tough situations and poverty abounds. But painting the farmers bad is not the whole picture. But, maybe you know this already and had an agenda to push... This is a disgusting one sided piece. I am so sorry I wasted the 18 minutes to watch it! Shame on you!!! Contact me it you are prepared to tell the whole story without bias and I'll get you in contact with some farmers that have been looking after their workers... farmers that have been struggling, but still keep their workers and gave them much more than the minimum wage. Farmers whose trucks were burnt when the people were striking... yes, when political groups moved in and started the protests for political gain... not for the people. And after all the political attention is gone... they leave and the farmers and workers are worse off... I challenge you to write the whole story without bias!
I didn't even watch 1mn and came strait to the comments. If you watch a few of these types of videos you will see that left bias is the defining characteristic of journey man, vice etc.
They could have contacted the farmers and owners of they wanted to. But why listen to the wealthy persons side of the story when it is clearly the poor blacks who are struggling, and need their stories told, their lives empowered!
The government to impartially regulate the farming industry with an iron fist. Have farmers contribute to a fund aimed at establishing: 1. Adequate schools; 2. Adequate Medical care services; 3. Increase the minimum wage; During the interim have social services educate women and young girls of the financial burden of having kids.
I dont speak the language and even I noticed they got some translations wrong. I mean that part where he said something about corruption and they translated it as "these are our working conditions" what??...
When will they make a documentary about why there is so many native African black people on the wine farms? The Africans come from the Eastern Cape which is a failed province due to corruption. They come without a ‘plan’ and get dropped on the farms or urban slums. At present the native African workforce displaced the traditional Coloured workforce ( which nobody even talks about) which built the succesful Western Cape economy....from farms to houses to factories. The uncontrolled influx of native Africans which in essence are economic migrants are causing huge social problems in the Colored/Creole community with joblesness and a bleak outlook for future prospects. The Colored community has suffered the most during the Apartheid regime and colonial era, because they were brought here as slaves. They payed their taxes, never moaned and complained, but their tax, time and labor investments did not produce any results for their children. ....this is the real travesty of the new South Africa in the Western Cape. Half of the Eastern Cape is already residing in the Western Cape. And make no mistake, many of the Eastern Cape already have property or tribal land in the Eastern Cape and the former homelands. Many are also renting out their property acquired in the Western Cape or the Eastern Cape. It is not as simple as this documentary make this out to be. The real victims here are the Colored youth who are being gradually displaced from the region where they are from and the region that their forefathers under constrictive and abusive conditions built. The Africans are cheap exploitative labor that are being taken advantage of and who should (perversely though) be grateful for an opportunity they are getting to earn money in an otherwise bleak economic prospect in the Eastern Cape. The only people profiteering from this are the farmers and the government which use the native Africans as voting fodder to prop up their numbers in a region which traditionally never truly had Native Africans in it. In short an abuse of the democratic system of power by numbers. The chickens have come home to roost though, because ‘a better future for all’ under ANC rule has failed to materialize due to mismanagement and corruption at governmental level whereby having securing a seat in parliament and the perks involved takes president over real structural management of a society. Even though i applaud the effort of the documentary it falls immensely short of the history of this social time-bomb
I work 12 hour days in the UK. All over the world people have to work long hours. I do however agree that a worker must be paid a fair wage for his labour. Also, didn't the ANC promise FREE schooling???
i didn't see anyone working to hard . like any job , you have to start at the bottom and work your way up . not the other way around . what i say to people is that you work to learn . then set up your business . any income is better than non .
I know one thing though if I was in that situation there's no way I'd bring a child into it why would you have children when you're life's just existing crazy
+lee young because you're a smart guy, sadly 90% of this planet doesn't think like we do. Same shit all over the world. Funny thing is it never comes up in any debate. People will talk about illiteracy rates, crime, low minimum wages, and abusive elites controlled secretly by space Reptillians. But never ever they bring up the most obvious thing that this people pump more children than the economy can absorb.
What I fail to understand is why when living conditions are so extreme one would choose to have a child when you know the conditions, you cannot provide food, health - wait a minute did I say child? Nooo lets have between six to ten children that is the solution!!!
Totally false. Government corruption, colonial capitalism, lack of stable governments, and poor infrastructure are the causes of most African woes. Population has very little to do with it.
@@srobbins5471 over population is a cause to the shit government, low education levels to get people through school so government can look good, cause, lack of education, corruption and greed, lack of education, people have 4+ children purely for the reason that even tho they are already poor and cannot educate said children if they have enough children even if they earn minimum wage jobs thier children can pay for them when they retire, and I've heard this myself from numerous of the people that do just that. There is not enough jobs and education. So what do they do, breed. Over population. The route of the problem
I don't see that this type of work is any worse than women fetching extremely heavy loads of water from the river 2 kilometers away, or pounding cassava root every day, or grinding millet, hoeing small fields, etc. in their villages, while the children mill around, and the men are afield, as they have done for thousands of years. Sub-Saharan Africans have ALWAYS lived in poverty (compared to most of the world), but they weren't aware that they were poor. It was just normal life. Maybe the difference is just that in the grape vineyards, they work for an *employer*, and are accountable to him. (Before, they had no one to blame.) Practically speaking, even their shacks aren't much different from village huts. And where are the "toilets" in such primitive villages? I don't understand the sense of "scandal" we're supposed to feel from this video. Manual labor--especially agricultural--is typically the lowest paid work, the world over. And so it is here.
Al harvesting ore picking jobs are from light do dark, every where,, in Europe , America ore Asia . When the fruit is ripe there is no delay possible , that shit must be picked , now now ! You can t really complain about a picking job , they are all the same, its fast work , long work and more you pick -more you earn !..I pick regulary , sparoggs , strahberries ,cherrys, apples , i pick far more than 12 hours a day , from 6 in the morning till 21...till the last light. ! People don t used to farm work can t do it..My 101 year old grandmother picks faster than this sleepy motherfuckers !..
Let me guess! It’s the farmers fault. The way I see, at least farms are proving something... without them, they will eat each other. And BTW if you are desperate for food on daily basis, why on earth would you have kids to make them endure the same fate?
Lack of education is the key problem here, we had some South African students in the 70s in Ghana, most of them hated school,and most of them enjoyed drinking instead of attending schools! Not excused , all Africans were colonized, after we managed to go to colleges!
lol you would be surprised that most of the people there are not even South African they from lesotho and zimbabwe south african dont like farming, as for education you are very mislead
Hhayi bo!! Imihlolo ye south africa. Just ask them who are they and where do they come from. These are not sans. I blame the gvt for not implementing immigration laws. SA reputation not good.
Extremely one-sided story. Please tell me that you tried to get one of the farmers on camera as well. I don't you did, but please tell me at least you tried. I'm a farmer myself and I will be more than willing to tell my side on how I tread my workers.
@sarafina basetsana En fok jou en jou ma se P. I bought my land, and you can also go and check how Jan bought land from the Koi, but I guess, you dont do history?
@viral videos I am not South African. But I find it disturbing that all white farmers are always said to have stolen the land. This can be very easily verified through purchase contracts and similar documents, right? Also, have all black land owners bought their land? Or did some of them steal it?
Albert is a young Zimbabwean Albert worked 13hour days and weekends Albert we're not force to do this he asked for it Albert is now the proud owner of his own taxi and his first big investment. Be smart be like Albert (True story he is one of my 135 farm workers)

The black people of South Africa were led to believe that when Apartheid was abolished and they got to elect their government in 1996, all of the economic, social, and political inequalities of the Apartheid era would disappear. Everyone would live in middle-class housing, with modern social services, and middle class incomes. Poverty would be abolished. Unemployment would disappear.
What a let-down to discover that little improvement occurred, and a new class of indigenous political exploiters took the place of the white government oppressors. The economy did not magically expand to raise the average income. Crime became rampant. Poverty and lack of education remain.
Being a citizen with voting rights is not a passport to an easy life.
no body believed that but fools. People knew life after Apartheid would be difficult. Mandela never told anyone those ridiculous claims. All they really promised was electricity(notice the poles in the shacks), and better housing for the poor, and to be FREE. You know.

Don't talk about the politicians when people (whites!) are actually the ones owning majority of these farms and treating our people as dogs
@@thapelobeqeke8560 I won't argue about the balance of rich & poor in SA. But you should stop thinking in terms of race. Human exploitation is a matter of rich vs poor. Not white vs black. Rich people don't care who they exploit as long as they profit from it. Politicians (including black politicians) don't care if they sell out their poor to white farmers or black farmers. They just care about getting their palms greased with money. Every society is the same in this. The rich exploit the poor as much and as long as they are allowed to.
I find it very difficult to condemn the farmers when they are offering jobs that the local economy wouldn’t otherwise have available.

There. I googled the definitions. You're utterly and completely wrong.
@@chrisdeanjames2898 What you're describing is a general description of a market, not a free market.

GetJesse Zimmbawee invited the white farmers back to run the farms.
I wonder why the nurse didn't council the folks living there to clean up their area, and plant some food of their own. Gather up the trash, and if you don't have a landfill, burn it. Petition the government for seeds, or even go to an NGO for help in obtaining them. It won't completely end the hunger there, but it will go a long way to tamping down on the diseases and supplementing their diets with fresh vegetables. I imagine the nurse likely councils them on the disease aspects, but maybe it will help if they explain the social behaviors that lead to them--and of course, birth control. I don't know if the current government is reasonable, but there are some relatively inexpensive ways to help.
@@eddingtonmillagillo4112 seeds are cheap but unfortunately land and water isn't.

ZasanaTButhelezi pre-school nurseries are not schools. Understand what you’re told before commenting.
Then you will hear motivational speakers who say poverty is caused by laziness. I guess it's easy to judge when u not in this types of situations
Tell that to the original white Afrikaners that established every modern industry that you see with blood sweat and tears. The difference comes from the fact that the white Afrikaners emphasized education from the home as well as continuing the family business, because of the importance of both. And the white Afrikaners figured it’s not their business to run other Afrikaners lives. The white government was strict but fair, and South Africa has never been as rich as 1980, at the time when the US was earning $12,000 per capita South Africa was earning $2000 per capita, and it was rising faster than the US, I used this metric as a comparison of wealth to the western world and now to achieve the same parity would be South Africa possessing a GDP per capita of $10,000. Hard work, perseverance, and personal values. Nobody was going to nanny you and tell you what you were doing wrong and the chances are you wouldn’t listen to them anyways if they did.
Poverty is not caused by laziness. It is caused by despair and the uneducated allowing a ruling elite to keep them uneducated and in poverty. They are easier to control. This is Marxism 101 This is why the ANC has set about to desroy the middle class as that is the thinking class and they dont want people to think. They want the poor and the elite nothing more
This type of poverty was rampant in Western Europe before and shortly after the Second World War. It takes generations of hard work to develop an economy and community, South Africa will lift itself up.
+itloads hard work in changing the system not in picking up more grapes
This type of poverty is still common for white people in western countries but the media doesn't care and focuses on non white people claiming racism. Poor white people are blamed for being lazy, ignorant and jokes are made about them. Poor non white people are portrayed as victims of racism.

To the "journalist": De Doorns is situated in the Hex River Valley. Before 1994, there were NO squatter camps. Almost ALL of those living in squatter camps there now, are NOT from the Western Cape region, having relocated from poorly managed ANC provinces and failed African states, as illegal aliens. They vote for socialists at home, then leave when they get what they voted for to invade an area, squat, then cause havoc and demand more free stuff, blaming everyone else for their problems. They keep on having children. If you can't afford to feed yourself, why have children?
You make it seem like the farmers are to blame for low wages. Common sense tells you that an oversupply of labour pushes down wages, to the disadvantage of local labour. The squatters also bring crime to areas where before there was none.
As for farmers not allowing workers toilet breaks, that is an utter b*llshit lie.

Feelthefx I think you must mean modern. When you look at societies from the standpoint of the average human condition, then pretty much any other culture is going to be better at it than modern civilization, which is based on artificial environments. Absent efforts to affect "civilization," other people live more harmoniously and sustainably than we do. Where over population occurred, it is only where they were touched by outside influence. So, from that perceptive you could argue that other culture's natural condition is to be in balance in all ways, ours is not. The problem for them comes when they affect away of life that is not their own. You can see the same thing all over the world.
Feelthefx Check out the videos 'Face of Africa' and the new young black millionaires in Africa. One of them is a young woman.

hmmm.....this video is painting a very bad and slanted view of farmers in South Africa. Many of these people are illegally entering South Africa, taking jobs from locals (hence the spate of xenophobia), finding jobs illegally, sending money back to their home countries so, not really contributing to the local economy and yet complain about the country they have no legal right to be living and working in.
Wages indeed should be much greater with better working conditions and this has to change but, virtually all of the locals vote for a government that has time and time again proven itself to be corrupt...financially, morally, spiritually. The ANC has had almost 3 decades to show South Africa some leadership when all it has done is rob the country blind. Yet they still are elected.
Look at the government , not the farmers who employ you to make your life better. When African governments start to care about the people, Africa will succeed. Until that time, it will continue to fail.
What an idiotic comment illegal immigrants entering South Africa and finding employment. But let us not paint a bad picture of South African farmers who employ illegal immigrants, really.
When you work and live in a country you contribute to the economy. They pay taxes from the food they buy, electricity, water. Anything you do or consume is taxed and taken back to the govt even your employer pays tax for you working there. If you feel like foreigners are taking your jobs why don't you work extra hard and provide competitive services? That is how civilized people run an economy

This is hard. No one should work 13 hours at a farm. The government should set a mandatory 8 hrs working period per day and 1 hr mandatory lunch. Any employer that violates that should be severely sanctioned.
This is bogus. For any farmer who wants to export produce, he needs to pass a strong audit from Globalcap. Being from a farm in the eastern cape where workers reside on the farm and take exceptional pride in their profession, seeing how things are in the Winelands made me laugh. At least 3 long breaks are taken through the day and the farmers need to take absolute care of their laborers. Obviously, there are farmers who can't achieve this, thus each case should be taken as an individual instance. I sympathize with the workers. Nobody needs to live in that conditions. But if research is done as to why labourers do not live on farms anymore and an interview of general workings on the farm is done with a farmer, this damn documentary would've looked a lot different.
Black lives in SA would be much better if there was a law of one child per family. Most black people believe that the more children you have the better. They will take care of you in your old age. But if they had only one child, that one child would have a much better chance of actually making it in live and actually caring for their parents. But no, Black people must have 4+ children even if they are even to poor to feed one.

Kevin Myers (born 30 March 1947) is an Irish journalist and writer. He writes for the Irish edition of the Sunday Times, having previously been a columnist for the Irish Independent and a former contributor to The Irish Times, where he wrote the "An Irishman's Diary" opinion column several times weekly. Until 2005, he wrote for the UK Sunday Telegraph.
His articles criticise left-wing opinion and the "liberal consensus", sometimes incorporating hyperbole, sarcasm and parody.
This essay appeared in The Irish Independent:
Somalia is not a humanitarian disaster; it is an evolutionary disaster. The current drought is not the worst in 50 years, as the BBC and all the aid organisations claim.
It is nothing compared to the droughts in 1960/61 or 73/74.
And there are continuing droughts every 5 years or so.
It's just that there are now four times the population; having been kept alive by famine relief, supplied by aid organisations, over the past 50 years.
So, of course, the effects of any drought now, is a famine. They cannot even feed themselves in a normal rainfall year.
Worst yet, the effects of these droughts, and poor nutrition in the first 3 years of the a child's life, have a lasting effect on the development of the infant brain, so that if they survive, they will never achieve a normal IQ .
Consequently, they are selectively breeding a population who cannot be educated, let alone one that is not being educated; a recipe for disaster.
We are seeing this impact now, and it can only exacerbate, to the detriment of their neighbours, and their environment as well. This scenario can only end in an even worse disaster; with even worse suffering, for those
benighted people, and their descendants.
Eventually, some mechanism will intervene, be it war, disease or starvation.
So what do we do? Let them starve?
What a dilemma for our Judeo/Christian/Islamic Ethos; as well as Hindu/Buddhist morality.
And this is beginning to happen in Kenya, Ethiopia and other countries in Asia, like Pakistan.
Is this the beginning of the end of civilisation?
AFRICA is giving nothing to anyone outside Africa -- apart from AIDS and new diseases.
Even as we see African states refusing to take action to restore something resembling civilisation
in Zimbabwe, the Begging bowl for Ethiopia is being passed around to us out of Africa, yet again.
It is nearly 25 years since the famous Feed The World campaign began in Ethiopia, and in that time
Ethiopia's population has grown from 33.5 million to 78+ million today.
So, why on earth should I do anything to encourage further catastrophic demographic growth in that country?
Where is the logic? There is none.
To be sure, there are two things saying that logic doesn't count.
One is my conscience, and the other is the picture, yet again, of another wide-eyed child, yet again, gazing,
yet again, at the camera, which yet again, captures the tragedy of children starving.
Sorry. My conscience has toured this territory on foot and financially.
Unlike most of you, I have been to Ethiopia; like most of you, I have stumped up the loot
to charities to stop starvation there.
The wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a low IQ, AK 47-bearing moron,
siring children whenever the whim takes him and blaming the world because he is uneducated, poor and left behind.
There is no doubt a good argument why we should prolong this predatory and dysfunctional economic,social and sexual system but I do not know what it is.
There is, on the other hand, every reason not to write a column like this.
It will win no friends and will provoke the self-righteous wrath of, well, the self-righteous hand wringing,letter writing wrathful individuals; a species which never fails to contaminate almost every debate in Irish life with its sneers and its moral superiority. It will also probably enrage some of the finest men in Irish life, like John O'Shea, of Goal; and the Finucane brothers, men whom I admire enormously.
So be it.
But, please, please, you self-righteously wrathful, spare me mention of our own Irish Famine, with this or that lazy analogy.
There is no comparison.
Within 20 years of the Famine, the Irish population was down by 30%. Over the equivalent period, thanks to
western food, the Mercedes 10-wheel truck and the Lockheed Hercules plane, Ethiopia's population has more than doubled.
Alas, that wretched country is not alone in its madness.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, lies Somalia, another fine land of violent, AK 47-toting, khat-chewing,
girl-circumcising, permanently tumescent layabouts and housing pirates of the ocean.
Indeed, we now have almost an entire continent of sexually hyperactive, illiterate indigents, with tens of
millions of people who only survive because of help from the outside world or allowances by the
semi-communist Governments they voted for, money supplied by borrowing it from the World Bank!
This dependency has not stimulated political prudence or common sense.
Indeed, voodoo idiocy seems to be in the ascendant, with the president of South Africa being a firm believer in
the efficacy of a little tap water on the post-coital penis as a sure preventative against AIDS infection.
Needless to say, poverty, hunger and societal meltdown have not prevented idiotic wars involving Tigre,
Uganda, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea etcetera.
Broad brush-strokes, to be sure.
But broad brush-strokes are often the way that history paints its gaudier, if more decisive, chapters.
Japan, China, Russia, Korea, Poland, Germany, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 20th century have
endured worse broad brush-strokes than almost any part of Africa. They are now -- one way or another -- virtually all giving aid to or investing in Africa, whereas Africa, with its vast savannah’s and its lush pastures, is giving almost nothing to anyone, apart from AIDS.
Meanwhile, Africa's peoples are outstripping their resources and causing catastrophic ecological degradation.
By 2050, the population of Ethiopia will be 177 million; the equivalent of France, Germany and Benelux today,
but located on the parched and increasingly Protein-free wastelands of the Great Rift Valley.
So, how much sense does it make for us actively to increase the adult population of what is already a vastly
over-populated, environmentally devastated and economically dependent country?
How much morality is there in saving an Ethiopian child from starvation today, for it to survive to a life of brutal circumcision, poverty, hunger, violence and sexual abuse, resulting in another half-dozen such wide-eyed children, with comparably jolly little lives ahead of them?
Of course, it might make you feel better, which is a prime reason for so much charity!
But that is not good enough.
For self-serving generosity has been one of the curses of Africa. It has sustained political systems which would otherwise have collapsed.
It prolonged the Eritrean-Ethiopian war by nearly a decade.
It is inspiring Bill Gates' programme to rid the continent of malaria, when, in the almost complete absence of personal self-discipline, that disease is one of the most efficacious forms of population-control now operating.
If his programme is successful, tens of millions of children who would otherwise have died in infancy
will survive to adulthood, he boasts.
Oh good: then what? I know, let them all come here.
So sad..but the truth is that is not a single Black Country in the world that is financially viable.
Do some research and withdraw your claim. Ignorance in the 21st century cannot be excused. Also travel a little and you will learn alot.

This type of journalism is verging on sensationalism. No interviews with the employers ( who, from experience, comply to all employment regulations), no interviews with any local authorities, no reference to South African employment law, no single figure mentioned surrounding minimum wage, no competitive figures to similar industries in neighbouring countries....etc etc etc.
Make no mistake the agrindustry ain't perfect by a long shot.........but it's employment and in a 3rd world environment if you have a job you are able to eat.
Here's food for thought : The Western Cape (the province this documentary was filmed in.....again forgotten to be mentioned by the filmakers) contributes 24% to total GDP in South Africa. Agriculture has a total contribution to the GDP of the Western Cape of roughly 4%. But what is significant to note is that agriculture and agro-processing are responsible for 18% of employment opportunities in the province.
Basically what I'm trying to get across.............Crap Journalism, Cheap Tricks to sell your product..........
I think more support for those children and their schools is the best thing that those of us who are outside of this community can do to help. Improved marketable skills will create more opportunities for them.
I know most of the farmers there. They’re good hard working people who are struggling aswell. A lot of work goes into farming especially in South Africa. We are in a drought . The farmers can only pay what they can afford. The reason for the poverty is because of the ANC government. Not the farmers. Also so many of those people are illegal immigrants. There are people there living in those shacks who have their own farms at home in Zimbabwe but they chose rather to live and work here.
R100 is enough to feed a family. They have work, do absolutely nothing to improve their living conditions. Plant lettuce as a start....Don't expect everyone to do everything for you.
THE SAME ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION WITH WORKERS IN CHILE OF FRUITS AND EXPORTERS, FOR THIS REASON THERE ARE PROTESTS TODAY THROUGHOUT CHILE.
MANY EXPORTERS HAVE HELICOPTERS THANKS TO THE SWEAT OF AN HONEST WORKER.
Honest truth is - That it’s not Agriculture that is dependent on unschooled labor, but unschooled labor that is dependent on agriculture.
@Ace Dude Hi Ace dude, very simple really. I assume you are not from a farming background? Nevertheless- farmers switch to less labor intensive crops. As an example: in the Western Cape farmers that normally farmed with table grapes(labor intensive)will switch to Wine grapes (fully automated). South Africa was also extremely slow to adopt the massive mechanization boom like in the rest of the world. This phenomenon is better known as “Diversification “ one of the first important fundamentals in new age farming. 😉
This farming story strikes a huge similarity with what’s happening also in Europe, uk,Spain,Italy,Portugal that I know of. To cut a long story short, people are being exploited because of their lack of education, becoming literarily slaves of these ruthless farmers......but of course not all farmers fit in the same bag.
It's not shocking that farms don't pay well, when the farm doesn't get paid much for what they produce. Food is worth so much more than what we pay for it.
This shows why education should be for free. Having 6 children but no perspective is a very bad compination and this will grow exponentially.
Yeh, you should follow Zim! They have a good model for your ideology!
weird how the principal grew up in the same place,but became a principal... like she says , pupils are using drugs,but still they are poor? what a waste of money...
I am from SA
Bad personal judgement regarding reproduction is why all of Africa is poor. Even in the US unless you are making hundreds of thousands annually you can only afford 2 children. Stop blaming everyone but those responsible for their misery.
The rotten food can be used as compost blend it in a blender and make compost juice to ad to ground dirt it will become rich dirt.that will grow good food.
Yeah, why does the govt just give up on that infertile soil? MAKE it fertile so the people can have little vegetable plots. Or just truck some fertile soil over to them. A charity org could easily make it happen, as well. It's almost like they want to keep the poor in their current state.
This is a god damn shame for the people of the riches country on earth to be living like this. Something is wrong somewhere in your own country.
Blacks hardly ever create businesses and employment opportunities and the few wealthy who do, employ White Afrikaners who they can trust and are capable. President Ramaphosa as a case in point, only employs White Afrikaners to manage his various farm enterprises!
One of the biggest problems in SA, excluding mass immigration through virtually open borders from the whole of Africa who are even worse off than SA, is the Child Grant of R400 per month equivalent to 28 Euro per month. For this parltry sum which is spent on alcohol the average school going girl/mother has three children (with unknown farthers) and three abortions between the age of 13 and 18! Most of these children are looked after by their more traditional and loving grandparents.
Essential viewing on TouTube: Prof. Eugene Valberg: African Language and the African Mind.
That is actually true. When the parents can't look after the children the grandparents almost always do the job.
The Hex River farming community one year bussed in hundreds of workers from zimbabwe to frustrate the local workers. When it was found out that they didn't have working permits home affairs hastily erected a mobile home affairs office. There is also a lot of suffering in the Ceres area.
During apartheid the people lived on the farms. They had houses and got food, a salary, clothes. My uncle slaughtered a cow for his workers each month, now years later they slaughtered him! So STUFF THIS SHIT!!!APARTHEID WAS WAY BETTER
Go to Europe and tell the Europeans there that you want to put them under apartheid, I'm sure they'll love to hear about how great it is.
It was
Nonsense!! Who do you think is running those farms? The government? No, it's the beneficiaries of Apartheid. They are abusive and they do not believe in human rights, especially for those who do not look like them. Afrikaaners are the most hateful group of people to ever step the earth! Farms in SA are owned by Afrikaaners who happen to be the richest people in the country. They are rich through blood, sweat and tears of the poor. An Afrikaaner slaughtering a cow for workers who do not basic services does not make any sense! Majority of South African farms have terrible working conditions and this is because a lot of these farm owners still implement Apartheid policies on these farms. Don't mislead, Apartheid was better for the Afrikaans people at the demise of the rest.
It is a vineyard planted by an enlightened individual - thank him and his peers for building up the country and please stop making more people if things are bad in your neighborhood. Just common sense. Stop messing around with our farmers, or buy a seed and plant your own first grape plant - nobody will stop you. Then you will have your own vineyard in fifty years and then you can stop blaming others for everything.
We are tired. We are hungry. We have no money.... So let's have 10 kids and worry about how to feed them later... It's that mindset and your inability to think logically that determines that u are best suited to be in the farm fields using your hands and making as few decisions as possible.

I belong to a minority and I see that there is a lot of unfairness of the working conditions but something I noticed is that lots of poor people do not have the common sense to be healthy and clean and with that I mean that people have the power to be clean and surround themselves with order and a nice clean homes, in constrast they lack of conscience or selfaware, being poor does not mean being dirty or careless about others and surroundings, people need to be trained to be clean and orderly, just that will create a better sense of belonging to a community and everybody will feel better. There is no excuse about working to exhaustion to be clean and keeping everthing in place it is sad seeing all that garbage and the poor ones do not move a finger to make a have a better place to live.
And that will change everything😂😂

It's in these people's nature to complain and seek sympathy - it has always been and will never change, its better than no job at all, what about the people with zero prospects and no money, the destitute and homeless, they are lucky they have jobs - Less babies made = more money in hand = better living conditions !
There aren't enough people opening business that have jobs for the working class in South Africa. People are begging for jobs and are willing to work for very little. The rich are taking advantage of this and as wrong as it is, that is how business works. To make things worse the government is stealing money that should have gone to helping these poor people.
Exploiting the poor to maximize profits! And to also deny them bathroom breaks! What happened to humanity?

Typical South African complaints. With a 30% unemployment rate, I'm sure the farmers can find someone else willing to work hard for the same amount.

I want to know where do they get so many metals to built there homes ????
Most of it is stolen from various houses and businesses, looted and burnt cars or other transport, copper stolen from electricity pilons etcetera, until all those shacks are built.
They get paid properly(minimum wage), they get their breaks properly and they dint seem abused by the farmers, so I don't see the problem with the farmers. Its lack of other opportunity for the workers and proper education for the children that is needed and that is the job of their government.
Auderi Elder... My goodness... you actually added your name to this?!
I would have been so embarrassed to produce such a bias, one sided, and misinformed piece! Really?!
I will give you some contact details of many farmers that will give you the their story of what is happening on the farms. They will allow you to shoot on their farms. You will see that the people you are talking to in the township are not 100% honest. Yes, there are tough situations and poverty abounds. But painting the farmers bad is not the whole picture.
But, maybe you know this already and had an agenda to push...
This is a disgusting one sided piece. I am so sorry I wasted the 18 minutes to watch it!
Shame on you!!!
Contact me it you are prepared to tell the whole story without bias and I'll get you in contact with some farmers that have been looking after their workers... farmers that have been struggling, but still keep their workers and gave them much more than the minimum wage. Farmers whose trucks were burnt when the people were striking... yes, when political groups moved in and started the protests for political gain... not for the people.
And after all the political attention is gone... they leave and the farmers and workers are worse off...
I challenge you to write the whole story without bias!
I didn't even watch 1mn and came strait to the comments.
If you watch a few of these types of videos you will see that left bias is the defining characteristic of journey man, vice etc.
I lasted 2.5 minutes but realised it was biased within the first few sentences.
They could have contacted the farmers and owners of they wanted to. But why listen to the wealthy persons side of the story when it is clearly the poor blacks who are struggling, and need their stories told, their lives empowered!
I think the workers should destroy the farms so they have no place to work! YO Marxism!
Looks like we should be sending them condoms not food...
The government to impartially regulate the farming industry with an iron fist. Have farmers contribute to a fund aimed at establishing:
1. Adequate schools;
2. Adequate Medical care services;
3. Increase the minimum wage;
During the interim have social services educate women and young girls of the financial burden of having kids.

When will they make a documentary about why there is so many native African black people on the wine farms?
The Africans come from the Eastern Cape which is a failed province due to corruption. They come without a ‘plan’ and get dropped on the farms or urban slums. At present the native African workforce displaced the traditional Coloured workforce ( which nobody even talks about) which built the succesful Western Cape economy....from farms to houses to factories.
The uncontrolled influx of native Africans which in essence are economic migrants are causing huge social problems in the Colored/Creole community with joblesness and a bleak outlook for future prospects.
The Colored community has suffered the most during the Apartheid regime and colonial era, because they were brought here as slaves. They payed their taxes, never moaned and complained, but their tax, time and labor investments did not produce any results for their children. ....this is the real travesty of the new South Africa in the Western Cape.
Half of the Eastern Cape is already residing in the Western Cape. And make no mistake, many of the Eastern Cape already have property or tribal land in the Eastern Cape and the former homelands. Many are also renting out their property acquired in the Western Cape or the Eastern Cape. It is not as simple as this documentary make this out to be. The real victims here are the Colored youth who are being gradually displaced from the region where they are from and the region that their forefathers under constrictive and abusive conditions built.
The Africans are cheap exploitative labor that are being taken advantage of and who should (perversely though) be grateful for an opportunity they are getting to earn money in an otherwise bleak economic prospect in the Eastern Cape.
The only people profiteering from this are the farmers and the government which use the native Africans as voting fodder to prop up their numbers in a region which traditionally never truly had Native Africans in it. In short an abuse of the democratic system of power by numbers.
The chickens have come home to roost though, because ‘a better future for all’ under ANC rule has failed to materialize due to mismanagement and corruption at governmental level whereby having securing a seat in parliament and the perks involved takes president over real structural management of a society.
Even though i applaud the effort of the documentary it falls immensely short of the history of this social time-bomb
I work 12 hour days in the UK. All over the world people have to work long hours. I do however agree that a worker must be paid a fair wage for his labour. Also, didn't the ANC promise FREE schooling???
god bless these beautiful children
i didn't see anyone working to hard . like any job , you have to start at the bottom and work your way up . not the other way around . what i say to people is that you work to learn . then set up your business . any income is better than non .
I know one thing though if I was in that situation there's no way I'd bring a child into it why would you have children when you're life's just existing crazy
+lee young because you're a smart guy, sadly 90% of this planet doesn't think like we do. Same shit all over the world. Funny thing is it never comes up in any debate. People will talk about illiteracy rates, crime, low minimum wages, and abusive elites controlled secretly by space Reptillians. But never ever they bring up the most obvious thing that this people pump more children than the economy can absorb.
What I fail to understand is why when living conditions are so extreme one would choose to have a child when you know the conditions, you cannot provide food, health - wait a minute did I say child? Nooo lets have between six to ten children that is the solution!!!
Over population in Africa is a cause to most of the issues
Totally false. Government corruption, colonial capitalism, lack of stable governments, and poor infrastructure are the causes of most African woes. Population has very little to do with it.
@@srobbins5471 over population is a cause to the shit government, low education levels to get people through school so government can look good, cause, lack of education, corruption and greed, lack of education, people have 4+ children purely for the reason that even tho they are already poor and cannot educate said children if they have enough children even if they earn minimum wage jobs thier children can pay for them when they retire, and I've heard this myself from numerous of the people that do just that. There is not enough jobs and education. So what do they do, breed. Over population. The route of the problem
I don't see that this type of work is any worse than women fetching extremely heavy loads of water from the river 2 kilometers away, or pounding cassava root every day, or grinding millet, hoeing small fields, etc. in their villages, while the children mill around, and the men are afield, as they have done for thousands of years. Sub-Saharan Africans have ALWAYS lived in poverty (compared to most of the world), but they weren't aware that they were poor. It was just normal life. Maybe the difference is just that in the grape vineyards, they work for an *employer*, and are accountable to him. (Before, they had no one to blame.) Practically speaking, even their shacks aren't much different from village huts. And where are the "toilets" in such primitive villages? I don't understand the sense of "scandal" we're supposed to feel from this video. Manual labor--especially agricultural--is typically the lowest paid work, the world over. And so it is here.

sterlization of africa seems mercy at times...
Lack of education is the key problem here, we had some South African students in the 70s in Ghana, most of them hated school,and most of them enjoyed drinking instead of attending schools! Not excused , all Africans were colonized, after we managed to go to colleges!
