The South African Department of Labour claimed a small Robertson farmer was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.

Department of Labour Employee: "I need a list of your employees and how much  you pay them."

Farmer: "Well, there's my farm hand who's been with me for 30 years. I pay him R1 400 a week plus free room and board."

"Then there's the mentally challenged worker. He works about 18 hours a day,  seven days a week and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about R100 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of brandy every Saturday night so he can cope with life.

Department of Labour Employee: "That's the guy I want to talk to…the mentally challenged one."

Farmer: "That would be me."
