How the lives of women vineyard workers are changing.
The wine industry in South Africa was for decades the preserve of white men who wereÌýthe main wine-makers and vineyard-owners. The farmworkers, by contrast,Ìýwere black or coloured, living in poor conditions and with few rights. Since 1994 and the advent of democracy, the wine industry has benefitted from investment and affirmative action schemes to boost black participation. Change is slow - especially for black women who make up the largest number of farm workers on the vineyards, but Rosie Goldsmith and Rebecca Fordham visited one project in the Western Cape which has become a showcase of change in South Africa.
