Greytown farm workers get share in farm business,Groundup.org.za – Ground Up,02 Sep 2016
Khulu Ngobese has been working on Westcliffe farm in Umshwathi, EKhamanzi near Greytown for more than 20 years. In August he became a beneficiary in a workers’ trust that will eventually own 50% of the farming business.
“It is unbelievable. It is like a dream. … When our boss mentioned it we did not believe him,” said Ngobese. “This is a story with a good ending. It will be a good story to tell my grandchildren: that I was a farm worker who ended up owning a farm.”
