Since early 2020, we’ve seen a steady uptick in food prices, and now it’s reached crisis proportions. Not only are food staples becoming unaffordable for poorer communities, but there just isn’t enough to go around. Four years ago there was an abundance of food; now over 1-billion people are staring famine in the face. Gradually, then suddenly. Covid-19 and climate change disrupted supply chains and bumper harvests; then the war in Ukraine and sanctions blocked grain exports and fertiliser supplies, while sending energy prices soaring. In a perfect trifecta of disruption, full silos could not be emptied, gas for fertiliser became scarce and costly, and fuel for planting, harvesting, and shipping surged. Within months, 25 countries had banned the export of various food products, seeking to protect their domestic food security, which only made the global situation worse, while super-exporters like Brazil enjoyed a demand bonanza. Depressed yields due to flood or drought on three continents added to the crisis.
Die nasionale vergadering het Woensdag ten gunste van die omstrede wetsontwerp op onteiening gestem. Die wetsontwerp is verlede week deur die portefeuljekomitee oor openbare werke en infrastruktuur goedgekeur ná openbare deelname en insette van opposisiepartye, burgerlike organisasies en tradisionele leiers landwyd. Spesifieke klousules van die wetsontwerp is tydens die vergaderings en byeenkomste as omstrede uitgelig. Daar is veral kommer oor die definisie van onteiening wat die deur kan oopmaak vir onteiening sonder vergoeding. Daar is ook vrese dat die wet, indien dit in sy huidige formaat aanvaar word, private eiendomsreg kan verwater en verswak. Kritiek en teenkanting teen van hierdie klousules is in die verslag oor die wetsontwerp saamgevat. Die doel van die wetsontwerp is om die bestaande Onteieningswet van 1975 te vervang met ’n gemeenskaplike raamwerk wat aan staatsinstellings moet voorskryf hoe onteiening van eiendom deur die staat kan plaasvind. Die wetsontwerp moet ook spesifieke gevalle omskryf waar die staat onteiening sonder vergoeding kan toepas, veral wanneer so ’n stap tot voordeel van die publiek is. Die wet is nou op pad na die nasionale raad vir provinsies. Dis duidelik dat die ANC en sy meelopers nie die gevolge van die wet lekker verstaan nie- en net daarop ingestel is om hulle eie belage voor op te stel- Die probleem is dat die wet hulle ook gaan raak wat niemand gaan geld bele in 'n land waar daar nie privaat eiendom sekerheid is nie.
Die aanvaarding van die onteieningswetsontwerp Woensdagaand deur die nasionale vergadering het nie sonder teenkanting plaasgevind nie. Opposisiepartye het hul besware teen dele van die wetsontwerp op rekord geplaas. Die DA, EFF, IFP, Vryheidsfront Plus en ACDP het onder meer hul kommer te kenne gegee en die wetsontwerp selfs as “vernietigend” beskryf, maar terselfdertyd is dit deur die ANC geloof omdat dit “klarigheid gee oor hoe onteiening in die toekoms sal kan plaasvind”. Vrese dat private eiendomsreg deur die wet in gedrang kan kom, is al verskeie kere uitgelig. Mnr. Pieter Groenewald, leier van Vryheidsfront Plus, het Woensdag gesê die wet in sy huidige vorm moet eerder bekend staan as “die wet op vernietiging”. Hy het gewaarsku die prys wat daarvoor betaal gaan word, sal uiteindelik die land se ekonomie vernietig omdat private eienaarskap een van die pilare van demokrasie en die vryemarkekonomie is. Me. Patricia de Lille, minister van openbare werke, het egter Woensdagaand gesê die wetgewing is nie uniek aan Suid-Afrika nie. “Die wetgewing bring klarigheid vir almal en sal die proses van grondhervorming ondersteun. Onteiening sonder vergoeding is nie ’n wonderkuur nie. Onteiening is maar net een manier om eiendom te verkry wat in paslike gevalle en in die guns van openbare belang, grondhervorming en herverdeling daarvan moontlik maak.”Sy het bygevoeg die wetgewing skryf ook nie voor dat “geen vergoeding” in genoemde gevalle sal geld nie. Volgens haar sal vergoeding deur middel van ’n ooreenkoms tussen die staat en eienaars van die grond vasgestel word. Indien geen ooreenkoms bereik kan word nie, sal die hof daaroor moet besluit. Sy het gewaarsku dit is gevaarlik om voor te hou dit sal die regering in staat stel om na willekeur mense se eiendom, soos private wonings, te neem. Groenewald het De Lille egter uitgedaag om die wet in die Grondwethof te probeer beveg. Me. Thoko Didiza, minister van landbou, grondhervorming en landelike ontwikkeling, het vandeesweek bekend gemaak dat 1,73 miljoen ha grond aan 1 672 opkomende boere toegeken is ingevolge die program om grond met kontrakte van 30 jaar aan opkomende boere te verhuur. Die program is al in 2020 begin as deel van die regering se pogings om herverdeling van grond te bespoedig.
“Property rights are under threat and the government is still steaming ahead on an ideological path, regardless of all the challenges the country is facing.” Francois Wilken, president of Free State Agriculture (FSA), expressed his organization’s disappointment and concern at the news that the National Assembly (NA) voted in favour of the controversial Expropriation Bill. “We have been warning for some time that the adoption of this Expropriation Bill in its current form will pave the way for further corruption on a scale that South Africa has not yet seen. Pressure by the government to gain further power to expropriate assets without compensation is going to bring the country even further into trouble, the current electricity crisis as well as the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in the Free State, among others, are already substantial challenges that have serious consequences for food security.”
Ons landbouers moet daagliks hulle self beskerm waar hulle op die plaas werk- "heeltyd bedag en oor hulle skouer loer" en in die aand moet hulle wakker week om hulle families te beskerm teen die barbare wat georganiseerd aangedryf deur een of ander organisasie of politieke party daarop uit is om ons boere en hulle gesinne te vernietig. Dis lankal tyd dat jy deel moet wees van 'n sekuriteits groep en jou bure. Die woord polisie moet vereers uit jou gedagtes wees.
Daar is landwyd n diepgewortelde ongelukkigheid onder veeboere oor hoe hulle belange in beide die bek-en-klouseer uitbraak en met biosekuriteitmaatreels vermink is. Hulle kan nie so aanhou boer onder hierdie omstandighede nie. Die regering is net nie instaat om die siekte te beheer nie.

Smart sensing technology to help farmers use fertiliser more effectively and reduce environmental damage has been created by bioengineers at Imperial College London.

Die lewe stel aan ons baie vrae en uitdagings wat van ons vereis om persoonlike besluite te maak.

Die risiko is groot dat vloede in die komende maande kan voorkom weens swaar reën en grondwatervlakke wat vinnig versadig kan raak. Om die impak van die verwagte swaarder reën aan die begin van die somer en droogte later in die seisoen tot voordeel van die somergraanoes te gebruik gaan ’n fyn balanseertoertjie van boere verg, sê mnr. Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige.
