Our empowerment philosophy
TAD endeavours for all permanent farm workers in the Group to become shareholders in farms. With the number of permanent farmworkers in the Group being more-or-less 1 200, this is a tall order, but we are determined to do whatever is necessary to achieve this goal, especially since these farm workers are responsible for the wellbeing of 6 000 dependants in the region. To date, ± 350 permanent farmworkers have been empowered via land reform initiatives.
TAD and its growers support land reform because, if properly managed, it represents an opportunity to build wealth for the next generation. The local rural economy will be bolstered and the current levels of poverty can be reduced.
An estimated 30% of total TAD shares will be transferred to land reform projects, of which the farm workers are the shareholders. The value of these shares is conservatively estimated at R600 million.
INTERNAL INITIATIVES
Socio-economic initiatives
TAD is proud of the benefits reaped through the Two-a-Day Education Trust. This trust provides the opportunity for all employees, children of employees and employees of member farms to apply for bursaries. In 2016 27 children were awarded bursaries to the value of R279,000. 2017 saw an increase to 65 children receiving bursaries to the total value of R500,000. Recipients of bursaries are free to study in the field of their choice.​
