Wine farm workers become owners

Wine farm workers on three farms in the Western Cape will get ownership of one of the farms, said the farm owners on Sunday.

"An innovative empowerment deal will transform employees on the three Franschhoek-based Solms properties into land owners after generations of tilling vineyards on which they had no claim," said spokesperson for the farms, Paula Wilson, in a statement.

The properties include the adjoining Solms-Delta, Lübeck and newly-acquired Deltameer, which form a 76 hectare estate home to more than 200 people in 22 worker families.
