Suid Afrika se Internet diens verskaffers se diens is nie meer op standaard nie. Die maatskappye se winste styg jaarliks maar hulle diens is swakker- Daagliks is daar iewers 'n fout en die internet konneksies is nie stabiel nie. Probeer gerus om die maatskappye te skakel en jy gaan vir 'n hele paar uur besig wees om jou probleem op te los.. en baie keer is die persone wat die klagte hanteer nie baie ingelig nie. Data is baie duur en die sogenaamde optiese vesel is net so onstabiel.
With heat waves hitting much of Europe, and temperatures rising elsewhere on the northern hemisphere, melons and watermelons are enjoying a significant boost in popularity. There is one issue however: a poor season for the fruit last year has led to large decreases in production area in major melon growing country, Spain. Not only this, but the extreme hot weather in Spain and other growing regions has meant the crop peaked earlier than usual, leading to what will likely be an early end to the season. These factors have driven prices sky-high, which will hopefully compensate growers for any losses. Meanwhile in South Africa, growers of winter watermelon see increasing demand for their product too, providing them with increased opportunities for sales. And finally, various adverse growing conditions leading to decreased volumes on the North American market have inflated prices for melon and watermelon on this market considerably too.
Die ineenstorting van basiese dienste en die korrupsie op plaaslike regeringsvlak het ’n smeulende kruitvat geword. Dit is net ’n kwessie van tyd voordat gewone mense se frustrasies gaan oorkook. Die eerste tekens daarvan is reeds duidelik sigbaar. Van Januarie tot Julie vanjaar het reeds 123 diensleweringsbetogings landwyd plaasgevind. En dit gaan toeneem! Volgens kenners tree die regering nie proaktief op om die frustrasies van gemeenskappe te hanteer nie. Die ANC wil reageer wanneer mense die strate invaar, terwyl hulle nie besef dat mense nie net een oggend opstaan en besluit vandag gaan ons betoog nie. Dit kom oor ’n lang tydperk. Hulle voel die regering hoor hulle nie en erger nog, die regering gee nie om in watter haglike omstandighede hulle leef nie.
The CSIR and the Agricultural Research Council worked with emerging farmers to collect data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during the 2019/20 and 2020/21 growing seasons to demonstrate the usefulness of such data and refine the precision farming methods. The solutions under development are needed by emerging farmers whose productivity is affected by changes in the environment, requiring them to take decisions on challenges such as crop health and growth, plant density and crop damage.
What could SA, and the rest of Africa, possibly get from Russia? What we do know is that measures by Ukraine’s allies to coerce countries like SA to side with them could end up having the opposite effect. What could SA, and the rest of Africa, possibly get from Russia? What we do know is that measures by Ukraine’s allies to coerce countries like SA to side with them could end up having the opposite effect. When the resolution condemning Russia’s “aggression in Ukraine” was passed days after that country’s illegal invasion of its neighbour, SA objected. Even though they agreed Russia’s actions were illegal, the feeling was that the words of the resolution “could drive a deeper wedge between the parties rather than contributing to a resolution to the conflict”, SA’s representative to the UN, Mathu Joyini, said at the time.
AGCO is investing heavily in South Africa to establish itself as the preferred supplier for mechanization and technology. Dr. Dominik Reus, Managing Director, AGCO, Africa: “Working very closely with farmers to provide suitable hi-tech, solutions for mechanization is a driving purpose of AGCO. We want to see South African farmers succeed in the global market.
Welkom by die Suid-Afrikaanse regering. Sy gunsteling-instrument is om die mense wat geld het se belasting op te stoot (587,593 + 45% van belasbare inkomste bo R1,656,600) om geld te genereer om vir die regering en sy projekte te betaal. Neem in ag dat daar omtrent die hele tyd betogings teen die regerende party is deur sy eie kamerade wie se salarisse nie betaal is nie. Wat 'n absolute vernedering. Waar is al die geld heen? WAT gebeur as die mense wie se geld jy gebruik se geld op is? Dan begin jy kommerwekkende goeters doen om selfs nog méér geld uit die reeds papgeslaande burgers te suig.
Successive years of stringent water restrictions on farmers’ drawings from the Kouga Dam are taking their toll in the citrus-rich Gamtoos River Valley, with several commercial farmers having relocated or closed shop over the past 12 months. Last month, the Department of Water and Sanitation announced that the 128 citrus, cash crop and dairy farmers in the valley, relying on the Kouga Dam, would be permitted to draw just 20% of their usual water allocations from the dam for 2022/23. The dam is currently at 16.6% capacity.
World Animal Protection commissioned research into public attitudes towards trophy hunting, surveying 10,900 people from around the world, including international tourists from countries who most frequently visit South Africa, and South African citizens. It revealed universally strong opposition to the blood sport and a desire to finance the protection of the nation’s iconic wildlife through non-lethal alternatives such as responsible wildlife tourism.
The key findings from the research* revealed:
- 84% of international tourists agree that the South African government should prioritise wildlife-friendly tourism over trophy hunting
- 74% of international tourists agreed that making trophy hunting a key pillar of policy will damage South Africa’s reputation, and 72% would be put off from visiting the country altogether
- 7 in 10 South African citizens agree their country would be a more attractive tourist destination if they banned trophy hunting
- Three quarters (74%) of South African citizens agree that trophy hunting is unacceptable when wildlife-friendly tourism alternatives have not been fully utilised.
Ons leef in ander tye- en as hond eet hond begin - dan moet weet dat ons by breekpunt is. Daar is 'n gesegde in Afrikaans... as ek eers die lyn getrek het- dan is die gort gaar. Bly asb wakker- bly positief en moenie dat jy enige tyd verras word deur die vyand wat tussen ons is en ons wil beroof van dit wat ons sin is- beskerm jouself- wees wakker - en moenie te veel praat nie- hou jou ore op die grond- Ons landbouers is al lankal besig om hulle toekoms te skep en kan nie dat die regering die rigting en die pas aanwys nie. Dit word net nie uitgevoer nie. Ons landbouers wil saamwerk, maar die pas is te stadig.

Die moeilike omgewing waarin Suid-Afrika se boere voedsel moet produseer, skep ’n unieke omgewing waarin boere hulself al hoe meer tot doeltreffende tegnologie wend om te verseker dat hulle volhoubaar kan bly boer.
Sunflower oil prices - South Africa -As we can see below, Russia and Ukraine account for 52% of the worlds sunflower seed production (South Africa is 1.5% of world production) and it’s no wonder the oil prices have rocketed locally and internationally since the Feb invasion.

South Africa: Opportunities for winter watermelon cultivation -There are few watermelons on the market at the moment, as it is the middle of winter in South Africa, but there are growers who are seeing opportunity in being on the market year-round with watermelons.
It’s a buzzworthy phrase that represents our global community’s growing desire to reduce our emissions, reverse climate change, and invest in the future of the Earth. And as a demographic that’s intimately invested in the relationship between the population and the planet, farmers are in a unique position to pursue the carbon-neutral goal.
We unfortunately end this week with some exceptionally sad news. Over the last 2 days, 150 vultures have been poisoned in two separate incidents (1 in Kruger National Park and the other Chobe Botswana). These killings were aimed at targeting vultures for muti. Their heads, feet and organs were removed.
Daar heers optimisme in die landbousektor oor die nuwe plantseisoen wat in Oktober begin. Volgens Wandile Sihlobo, hoofekonoom van die andbousakekamer Agbiz, dui veral die weervooruitsigte vir die volgende vyf maande, pryse vir graan en oliesade, asook trekkerverkope op 'n goeie seisoen.

Die eerste wolveiling van die 2022/23-seisoen is om die draai en China se verbod op woluitvoer weens uitbrekings van bek-en-klouseer in dele van Suid-Afrika, is steeds in plek. Die algemene bestuurder van die Nasionale Wolkwekersvereniging, Leon de Beer, sê optrede is nodig van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering aangesien die verbod verwoestende gevolge vir veral kleinskaalse wolprodusente en werkers inhou.
Global water usage is divided into three categories: blue, green, and grey. Blue water originates from groundwater or surface water, while green water is water transpired by plants and originates as rain. Gray water is used in manufacturing or processing but is still clean or diluted enough to remain usable without treatment
Vervoer maak 28% van die klimaatskadelike besoedeling uit. Die opwekking van elektrisiteit ’n verdere 28%. Die landbou, met al sy vratte, dra net 9% by. ’n Mens verstaan hoekom gewone Europeërs ’n bydrae wil lewer in die stryd teen klimaatsverandering.

The government uses language like job creation and radical economic transformation without ever concluding how they will create jobs, or what a radically transformed economy would look like, either strategically or in execution. And that is sadly what all of the ANC's responses to the media or the citizens of the country resolve into -
Die maatskappy New World Emigration in Kaapstad sê die land se energiekrisis en die huidige stand van die ekonomie en inflasie lei daartoe dat baie geskoolde en professionele mense die land verlaat.
