The plight of poor and disabled people is on the rise in areas such as Franschhoek, with many foreigners buying land in the region and evicting farm workers in order to convert the servants quarters into lucrative guest houses. As a result, the Department of Correctional Services will hand out more than 20 wheelchairs, agricultural produces and meat produced through prisoner labour, on 5 December 2013, at the Groendal Community Hall, Franschhoek, at 9am.
Members of the media are invited to cover the event for news gathering and photo opportunities.
