Cape Town - Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant is not aware of a planned farmers strike, EWN reported on Monday.
Oliphant, who recently met with farmworkers and labour union bosses, said she knows nothing about claims of looming protest action.
"I said they mustn't mislead the workers", Oliphant was quoted.
She also spoke to farmworkers and told them not to be misled by their leaders.
Oliphant also urged workers to take up any concerns with their employers.
There was claims recently of farm unions planning another strike over the use of labour broking.
Farming towns across the Western Cape came to a standstill between November and February during a protest by workers against poor wages and harsh living conditions.
De Doorns was the epicentre of the protest action.
The protests led to Oliphant increasing the daily minimum wage for farmworkers to R105, after input by farmers and workers.
