Premier of SA province hails deal that protects 3 000 food sector jobs

Date: May 20, 2025

Western Cape Province Premier Alan Winde says over 3000 jobs in South Africa (SA) will be saved at the Langeberg and Ashton Food (LAF) cannery in the Boland.

Winde says the food company Tiger Brands recently informed him that they had concluded a business agreement to facilitate its exit from its deciduous canned fruit business.

The business will be sold to a consortium comprising partners with vested interests in LAF, its employees, and the region.

Winde says the agreement will also safeguard the SA jobs of farmworkers across the Langeberg area.
