The provincial office will be conducting a human rights dialogue to discuss the challenges faced by the dwellers of Straatsdrift farms and other surrounding farms, including Tshwaro Farms. The SAHRC is concerned about innumerable violations of farm dwellers socio-economic rights which need immediate intervention from government institutions. The dialogue will provide an opportunity for relevant stakeholders to explore opportunities for the speedy resolution of all complaints and challenges raised by the Straatsdrift farms dwellers and surrounding farms and the establishment of effective communication mechanisms between our respective institutions.
The engagement is planned to run for two days on 10 – 11 October 2022 and will be conducted in two phases as follows:
- Inspections at the farms and consultation with the farm dwellers
Date: 10 October 2022
Time: 09:00am
Venue: Straatsdrift farms
- Dialogue session
Date: 11 October 2022
