Ceres - Kathy January from Bronaar farm was crowned as Witzenberg's top farmworker on Thursday evening.
There were 78 entrants in the Witzenberg competition and January competed in the new category of social development worker.
This was the first regional round of the Western Cape Farmworker of the Year competition to be hosted for 2013.
There are 15 regions competing this year and all regional winners will qualify for the top position of Western Cape Farmworker of the Year, which will be announced at a gala event in October.
This year’s competition will see 1 100 entrants compete for the overall prize of R100 000.
Gerrit van Rensburg, Western Cape minister of agriculture and rural development, urged all stakeholders to work for positive change in the agricultural sector.
“We are entering an election period and the temptation for unrealistic promises will most certainly be there,” he said.
"Political leaders should not make statements or instigate behaviour which is to the detriment of the agricultural sector."
