Last month, our colleague Fasil had the privilege of representing CropLife Africa Middle East at the farm workers training held from September 23–24, organized by the Western Cape Government Department of Agriculture, alongside various stakeholders, including CropLife South Africa through Food For Mzansi.
Over two inspiring days, more than 1,000 farm personnel from Caledon, Bredasdorp, and Ceres attended these sessions. What stood out was how the training extended beyond farming—covering financial literacy, health awareness, and on-site health check-ups.
Importantly, CropLife South Africa presented on the responsible use of pesticides and facilitated Personal Protective Equipments giveaways.
The final day coincided with Heritage Day (September 24), making it two days of learning, gratitude, and celebration. Fasil was glad to be part of this initiative on behalf of CropLife Africa Middle East and very proud of the work being done by CropLife SA to support farm communities and the people who keep agriculture thriving.
