Does this woman have any clue about anything in her portfolio?
Yes, the wages are shockingly low (now what was Cosatu thinking when they negotiated THAT insult of a daily rate?) but did she find out if the farmers were financially able to cover a more than doubling of the daily rate?

Why is the minister of "lets move the fisheries department to Pretoria" still in office?

Tina is just pathetic. Looks .... and talks... like a Cupie doll, and seems to have the brains to match.

If we, as society, condone the abandonment of the rule of law in favour of the rule of violence, then we should anticipate being ruled by 'untouchables'.

Most of Africa is plagued by the collapse of the rule of law, where the rouges with heavy attillery, become the law.

The Marikana precedence is most regrettable.

Negotiating with rouges who masquerade as 'wild-cat-strikers' simply gives birth to more rouges. Each group of rouges would want to be seen to be worse than one group. So the killing of non-striking workers will increase, the police will be attacked and they will be lambasted and demoralised for heavy handedness, destruction of means of production will go on, and fire-brands who egg 'strikers' to fight to the death, will be given ill-gotten airtime.

Re-establishing the rule of law MUST be our first priority. No negotiations must be engaged with people who use violence. People who have destroyed property, murdered colleagues, attacked police - must be arrested and charged.

Our governement ministers and all in authority MUST respect the rule of law. Zuma's lawyer must give up the spy tapes because the court said so.

Its a tragic comedy.
A minister who actively encourages people to be unlawful, a police force who is worse than the criminals, a president who has no respect for the law and a labour union who plays both sides of the fence.

We have many differences as Saffers but we all signed up for a Constitutional democracy - where the rule of law is the only common thing we share. That must be upheld for this democracy to survive.

Impela, my question is who is going to make Zuma's lawyers give up the tapes? The rot starts at the top, and until we can get a prez who actually puts the nation's interests before his own, everyone will follow his example and do as they please.

Impela,
Depends on who you support or how much money you have as to what rule of law you get. That is the reality of what SA is doing at the moment. We have to get back to ONE rule for all or suffer the very great reality of becoming a warlord state where the law of the jungle is king

Neon, one thing I did agree with that Tony E suggested is that products are labeled "worker friendly", to enable consumers to support producers who comply with laws and regulations, and cut out the ones who do not. I think it might work accross the board.

Yes Anti, no problem with that, but Tony E is too much involved with politics concerning the destabilization of the Western Cape. He surly took notes from his bedmaaitjies the ANCYL.

There is a group who does this. I think they are called Ethical Consumer or something similar. Overseas, you get products which are specifically labeled so that the consumer knows the product was not produced by abusive or unethical means. I think Woolies uses them here

Shem Tina the barbie doll jy is net pretty but empty with innovative ideas. True she IS incapable of resolving the stalemate even if she was in a position to do so. However the paltry wages in the Agriculture industry is an old adage and that it had to become a crisis matter as it is now, is the lack of oversight and vision by the very same ministry. As an advice: Tina please get a competent agricultural economist to advise your ministry? You will need it. Oh, and NOT an incompeted carde deployment!
