Israel Deports 12 Malawian Workers who Deserted the Farms where they were Employed

People gathered in a field, celebrating Cape Malay flavors with vibrant attire and joyful expression.

In a statement, Information Minister Moses Kunkuyu said the workers had valid visas to work on specific farms but had “breached their contract” by going to work at a bakery.  Mr Kunkuyu said it was illegal under Israeli law for a foreign worker to change jobs without following the right processes. Hundreds of Malawians travelled to Israel last year to fill a labour gap on Israel’s farms after thousands of workers left at the start of Israel-Gaza conflict in October.
