On the role of Afrikaner organisations in perpetuating a white victim narrative in the USA, John Steenhuisen says: "There is no mass expropriation of land. There is no genocide in South Africa. Those who spread this misinformation need to recognise that there are real-world consequences. Who will suffer if we lose access to American markets? Not the politicians who have made bad decisions. Not the BEE fat cats who have sat at the top of these networks. It will be farmers and farm workers for whom these treaties provide a means to sell their products in America." He says he knows the organisations are annoyed with him, but he will continue to call out misinformation. "There's a golden rule: Country first, then Party, then Self. Our country and its future are at stake here." News 24
Terwyl Ramaphosa nog voorbereidings doen om ’n afvaardiging na Washington en Europa te stuur om Donald Trump se strafaksies teen te werk, was die Solidariteit Beweging kláár by die Withuis en gaan nou deur Europa toer om verdere druk op Suid-Afrika te versoek. Cyril Ramaphosa het dié week weereens gesê die nuwe Onteieningswet het ten doel om grond aan swart burgers terug te gee. Die werklikheid is dat die staat – die SANW, Transnet, Eskom en ander staatsondernemings – op miljoene hektaar grond sit wat nie produktief is nie, en dat soveel van die grond wat reeds herverdeel is, nou leeg lê weens ’n gebrek aan staatsondersteuning of onaktiwiteit.
The outlook is also optimistic regarding oilseeds, which are vital for food inflation and animal feed. For example, the soybean harvest is estimated at 2.3 million tonnes, up 26% year over year. This is due to anticipated better yields, as the area is roughly the same as last season. Moreover, the sunflower seed harvest is forecast at 720 050 tonnes, up 14% year over year, benefiting from expected higher yields. The groundnut harvest is estimated at 65 359 tonnes (up 26% year over year), sorghum production is estimated at 129 620 tonnes (up 32% year over year), and dry beans harvest is estimated at 75 966 tonnes (up 50% year over year). The base effects also boost the significant annual increases, given the poor harvest we recorded in 2023-24 during the drought.

The Expropriation Act is not entirely new. It mainly updates the existing legislation from 1975 to align it with the constitution of democratic South Africa. But some have misinterpreted it as making room for land grabs by the state. That’s not what it does in reality. Property rights remain intact in South Africa. READ MORE

Based on our extensive research experience, policy advice and activism in food security, we argue that food insecurity transcends mere food supply issues. It is deeply intertwined with systemic inequality, food system dynamics, poverty and failures in policy. READ MORE

CRA MEDIA - Actions speak louder than words. So, focus on winning through your actions rather than trying to win an argument.You need to think long-term if you want to maintain power. Consider all the possible outcomes of your actions and plan accordingly. Don’t accept things that people give to you for free. People will think they have power over you if you do. You won’t be able to exert your authority as easily.

Grondonteiending bly een van die mees omstrede kwessies in Suid-Afrika, veral met die onlangse aanneming van die Onteieningswet in Desember 2024. Hierdie wetgewing, wat die moontlikheid van grondbeslaglegging sonder vergoeding insluit, het nie net plaaslike kommer gewek nie, maar ook internasionale aandag getrek—veral onder beleggers wat die land se ekonomiese potensiaal dophou. Terwyl die beleid gerig is op die regstelling van historiese ongelykhede, bring dit beduidende implikasies vir internasionale beleggings mee.
Nigeria’s efforts to boost agricultural mechanization have advanced with the arrival of the first batch of 2,000 tractors from Belarus, following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of the purchase.

A closer look at the data shows the first maize production estimate at 13.9 million tonnes, up 8% year over year (y/y). About 7.4 million tonnes is white maize (up 22% y/y), and 6.5 million tonnes is yellow maize (down 4% y/y). The difference is caused by the area switch, with white maize taking a more significant area and the yield expectations.

Sri Lanka’s abrupt transition to fully organic agriculture, driven by anti-GMO activists like Vandana Shiva and fueled by misinformation, is considered one of modern history’s most disastrous agricultural experiments. Ignoring the lack of support from major agricultural bodies, the policy led to catastrophic outcomes within months.
