NATIONAL NEWS - The National Assembly has passed a bill aimed at curbing the illegal eviction of farm workers.

The Extension of Security of Tenure Amendment Bill will now go before the National Council of Provinces for Approval.

Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti says it is a step in the right direction.
