Farmworkers' strike NOT suspended


 The farmworkers' strike in the Western Cape has not been suspended.

That's according to the Black Association of the Wine and Spirit Industry.

Its president Nosey Pieterse says the strike will continue across the province until there is an agreement for better wages and worker protection.

Pieterse, who is also the general secretary of the Building and Allied Workers Union of South Africa warned that farm workers who go back do so at huge risk.

Cosatu in the Western Cape announced on Wednesday that the strike had been suspended for a week but would resume again if certain conditions were not met.
