A farmers operation in the Donnybrook area, which pays out R2 million in monthly salaries, has had to turn to court to keep its doors open.
This follows protests allegedly sparked by the fact that the farms employ six Zimbabweans on their workforce.
Emerald Dale Farms and Patula Sawmill on Thursday obtained an urgent temporary interdict in the Pietermaritzburg high court.
It prevents employees, former employees and anyone else from gathering or organising protests at any of the farms or public roads allowing access to and from the farms.


The “trouble-causers” have also been ordered not to burn tyres, logs, trees, plantations, building structures or any substance on the farms.
The application was brought on an urgent basis by advocate Chris Snyman, SC, before Judge Piet Koen following protest action that worsened at the farm this week.
Trees were set alight and farm workers were prevented from going to work, farm owner Maxwell Anderson said in court papers.
The protesters are unhappy that the farm has employed six Zimbabweans and are demanding they be fired, he said.

Close the farm. Sell the equipment. Emigrate. Start afresh with new farming operations in a brand new country. Employ new people there. Enjoy the refreshing income of Dollars, Pounds or Euros in your bank account. South Africa does not offer any business any favourable conditions.

Good morning Lew. It's not as easy. You want everyone to run away at every sign of difficulty?

But why are you subjecting yourself to this torture that is SA if you could just fly off to Panama City? Aren't you wasting your own time posting propaganda that's unlikely to happen? Still waiting for the predicted total collapse of Moody's

I suspect he wants to buy gauteng when house prices come down sufficiently.

I know how crazy it sounds but watch the space.

No sir, you are dead wrong. Properties have been for the past few years not seen as a proper investment by investors, as there is no proper growth opportunities for investments. Unfortunately, this is not a space I would like to be in in this country. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
