Labour minister calls for peaceful farm-worker protests


 Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant has called for peaceful protests during a farmworkers' pay strike on Tuesday.

She said in a statement on Monday that violence has no place in a South African society whose foundation as a democracy is based on intensive social dialogue.

Last week, the minister said it would be impossible to meet the workers' December 4 deadline, by which they had wanted their demands addressed.
