Since 1994 about two million farmworkers and farm dwellers have been evicted from land in South Africa. 65-year-old Andries and 61-year-old Lea Joostenberg from the Koo Valley Region in the Western Cape are faced with eviction in their retirement years. This scenario plagues the farmworker community across the country. In July 2014 the Joostenbergs lost their home when a new farm owner bought the farm they were living on.
