* FAWU FAWU **News Release, 20 March 2012* ** ** *FAWU Appealing to Grabouw Community to Exercise Calm*
The Food and Allied Workers Union is calling upon the communities of Grabouw to exercise calm and unite around their common goal of pursuing access to quality education and the improvement of overall infrastructure in the Overberg town.
We are appalled at the disruption of education and outbreaks of violence as reported in the media and would like to see workers and pupils returning to places of work and schools as soon as possible. While we are aware that there is tension in the town, the eruption of violence we have seen is of no benefit to anyone and we remain deeply concerned over many of our members who are farm workers living in the Grabouw area.
We therefore call on the MEC of Education, Donald Grant to immediately intervene to resolve the issue promptly rather than engaging in playing the blame- game.
