Cape Town - A document purportedly distributed by the Black First Land First movement, warning of their intention to invade wine farms in the Western Cape, has spread fear among farmers - so much so that D’Aria Winery has sought an urgent interdict against the organisation. However, BLF president Andile Mngxitama said not even a court interdict would deter them from taking farms and warned they were planning massive land invasions, including the farms in the Winelands.
According to the founding affidavit from Johan von Waltsleben, director and manager at the farm, the property would have been allocated to BLF supporters and divided up into 400 units. “In the event that an informal settlement is established on the property, its farming operations are likely to be brought to a standstill, causing incalculable financial and reputational damage to the farm.
“In the event that the property is occupied then not only will these employees and ex-employees lose the benefits that they have accrued over the years, they will also lose their homes.”
