Show Notes
Tuberculosis disproportionately affects South African farm workers, particularly seasonal laborers in Limpopo communities and Cape wine farms. High exposure to silica dust, crowded living conditions, and economic hardships exacerbate the issue. Farmers face labor shortages due to workers inability to complete treatment, leading to income loss and industry slowdowns. On-site screenings and directly observed treatment are proposed solutions, but balancing health and paychecks remains a challenge for many workers.
