The Province also submitted that the labour cost per labourer was R70 for the 2010/11 financial year but it has since increased in the 2011/12 financial year to R75 per labourer to eradicate 0.1 hectare per day. Eradicating alien plants per hectare cost R400.00. The total number of jobs created were 23 for 84 days. These temporary workers worked for longer periods of time, hence the fee increased in this financial year.
