“While the government is quick to act against violence when it comes to robberies of truckers and vehicles in transit, it remains immobile and emotionless on matters involving farmers and farm workers, who are being attacked and killed at a much higher rate. than many other groups. This while the prime minister and his provincial government are nowhere to be found. “
