As Agriculture & Land Affairs Minister, Xingwana caused controversy in 2007 when she accused white farmers as being cruel and inhumane towards their workers. She claimed that farmers regularly 'rape and assault' their farm workers. These statements enraged many farmers and two farm unions,
AgriSA and the
Transvaal Agricultural Union, challenged her to provide evidence that would support her accusations. The minister called for a meeting with the unions, which resulted in the farmers walking out of the meeting. President
Thabo Mbeki has been asked to resolve this dispute between farmers and the minister..
