With this first issue of 2011, Die Okkupeerder appears in an attractive new format. Die Okkupeerder (Afrikaans for "the occupier") reports on the work of the Security of Farmworkers Project of Lawyers for Human Rights. Over the next 12 months we expect to bring you more regular reports about our work as conflicts over land tenure and the rights of farmworkers intensify. We also welcome your feedback.
