17 A non-representative, qualitative questionnaire was administered to 109 workers and focus group interviews conducted in 6 branches of Cambridge through access provided by Saccawu. The project was funded by UNI Global. Project researchers included Bongani Xezwi, Ntsiki Mackay, Lesego Ndala, Matlhako Mahapa, Zakhele Dlamini, Tlaleng Letsheleha and Zivai Sunungukai.
18 Compare these retail workers’ wages to the latest farm workers’ minimum wages of R105/day (raised to this – itself a 35 per cent increase – in the latest Sectoral Determination following militant and violent strikes on farms where workers contested their poverty conditions).

Farmworkers had demanded R150/day in the strikes. The report summarises, ‘The real problem is that even at what seems to be an unaffordable minimum wage of R150 per day, most households cannot provide the nutrition that is needed to make them food secure’ (BFAP 2012:vi).
