Die Reserwebank bly aanhou om rentekoerse te verhoog en sodoende miljoene mense met plaas en huisverbande asook ander skuld se toekoms te vernietig. Dit kan nie so werk werk dat net 5 mense die lot van miljoene mense rentekoerse bepaal nie. Meeste van die mense se skuld is aangegaan onder streng keuringsmaatreels en nou is die Reserwebank met die goedkeuring van nog 'n paar ekonome besig om mense se lewens te vernietig. Met soveel korrupsie in alle sektore van die regering kan mens nie anders as om ook hierdie syfers te bevraagteken nie. Daar moet meer verteenwoordiging van die privaat sektor wees wat nie banke en ander instellings insluit wat nie deel is van die reserwebank nie. Dit is verstommend om die oorwegend neutrale kommentaar op die jongste rentekoersverhoging deur die Reserwebank gade te slaan, met sommige menings wat selfs positief op dié onsinnige stap gereageer het. Die Reserwebank het die rentekoers met 75 basispunte verhoog. Rentekoersverhogings lei tot ’n toename in die koste van kapitaal, wat tans broodnodig vir die verbetering van infrastruktuur en die uitbreiding van produksievermoë deur die private sektor is.
In 2021 the South African government set the country’s contribution at 350 million to 375 million tons of carbon equivalent by 2030, consistent with limiting climate change to 1,5 °C. Currently our emissions run at about 450 million tons, so this target requires a reduction in emissions of about 17%. South Africa is the 13th largest emitter in the world. Our 450 million tons compare to a global average of 172 million tons per country. Per capita we emit about 7,5 tons against a global average of 4,8 tons. Measured per capita, we are the 15 largest in the world. Whichever metric, we are a big emitter. The rest of Africa has not contributed much to Greenhouse gasses. When talking emissions some African leaders are indeed quick to say “Africa, South Africa excluded …”. We thus cannot hide behind Africa.
In 2024 SA will celebrate 30 years as a democracy. This celebration will coincide with South Africans going to the polls to elect a new government for the seventh time since the country put the apartheid era behind it in 1994. Land expropriation without compensation has dominated national discourse after the government failed to meet its target of redistributing 30% of land to black people by the 2014 deadline. Only 6.78% of commercial farmland was returned to its original owners by then. However, research has shown that 70%-90% of these farms are no longer productive because most of the resettled people had no experience in commercial farming and did not receive post-settlement support. In pre-1994 SA black people had access to 12.1% of the country’s land, with 7.8% set aside for blacks living in the so-called homelands. I grew up in one of the homelands, Transkei, which was incorporated into the Eastern Cape province after 1994. In Transkei, communal farming was practised on 84.3% of the land, and in Ciskei, another former homeland incorporated into the Eastern Cape, on 74% of the land, leaving little room for commercial, market-orientated agriculture. In both former homelands communal farming is in a far worse state than before democracy due to underinvestment and poor infrastructure.
Urea prices seem to be headed downwards for the coming weeks and it’s not surprising that the Indians are now talking of yet another tender. Indian urea purchases have been well above Q4 norms but urea prices of close to $1,000/t have not been forgotten and Indian buyers are keen to secure product at what they believe are good prices.

There are aspects of the agricultural value chain ecosystem that threaten the sector’s growth prospects, despite solid growth in 2020 and 2021. Some are external to us, while others have been self-inflicted. These are the issues ANC delegates should debate to find solutions to critical failures and fault lines. The external factors include:
- Rising input costs (fuel, fertilisers, chemicals, transport);
- Non-tariff barriers introduced by main trading partners such as the EU and China;
- Slowing global growth, high inflation and higher interest rates; and
- Logistical and shipping bottlenecks. READ MORE
More significant and extensive rainfall is however expected during the coming weekend, focusing on the northeastern half of the summer rainfall region and including the summer-grain production region. Scattered to widespread thundershowers are expected as an upper-air trough moves through during the weekend. Following the system, current forecasts indicate a return to typical mid-summer conditions with isolated to scattered thundershowers over the summer rainfall region, but no intense system causing widespread heavy rainfall at this stage according to forecast models, after the weekend. Large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns are not expected to be particularly favorable for widespread rainfall during the remainder of next week according to current forecasts and it should be somewhat warmer with only isolated to scattered thundershowers over the central to eastern parts.

Dr. Roy Jankielsohn praat in die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies oor die Suid-Afrikaanse grondkwessies. Jankielsohn is gevra om die debat te lei en af te sluit omdat hy ’n doktorale studie oor die grondkwessie aan die Noordwes-Universiteit se Potchefstroom-kampus gedoen het. Dit het oor transformasie in grondeienaarskap in Suid-Afrika gehandel. Jankielsohn sê van die belangrikste mense is diegene wat op gemeenskaplike (kommunale) grond boer wat onder die beheer van tradisionele instellings is. “Dit is hierdie boere wat bemagtig moet word met titelaktes op die grond waarop hulle werk. Die ANC en EFF wil Suid-Afrikaners egter as politieke en ekonomiese slawe op grond aanhou wat hulle al jare bewerk en op bly eerder as om hulle deur titelaktes ekonomies te bevry en te bemagtig.”
One of the best ways to improve understanding of South Africa’s vast and complex agricultural sector is through great writing – and the Hollard-sponsored Young Agri Writers Competition stimulates exactly that. The 2022 iteration of this exciting competition for young South Africans (they must be 28 or younger) features two categories: technical and non-technical writing. The competition winners have just been announced, with each receiving R5 000 in prize money. The runners-up and second runners-up in each category have won R3 000 and R2 000 respectively, with the other finalists each receiving R1 000. READ MORE
In 1994 when South Africa became a democracy, white farmers owned 77.580 million hectares of farmland out of the total surface area of 122 million hectares. The new government set a target of redistributing 30% of this within five years. This target date has been moved several times and is now 2030. According to popular belief between 8% and 10% has been redistributed so far. But as we show below this is incorrect as it omits a number of key statistics. Only 17%-20% of the 77,58 million ha is suitable for field crop, irrigation and horticultural production. More than 55% of farmland is only ideal for extensive grazing (land that is poor and dry but animals can roam widely, the Karoo being an example), and another 20% for intensive pastures and animal production (land, the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands being an example, that receives good rains and has good pastures for grazing).

Trofeejag vorm een van die belangrike pilare waarop die Suid-Afrikaanse wildlewebestuursmodel gevestig is. Saam met wildteling, ekotoerisme en handel in wildleweprodukte, maak dit die bedryf lewensvatbaar en volhoubaar. Vandag het Suid-Afrika meer wildlewe as enige ander tyd in die afgelope 100 jaar. Dis amper weer winter en ons glo dat dit 'n beter jaar gaan wees.

Daagliks lees ons artikels oor landbou wat geskryf word deur hoogs geleerde mense met allerhande soorte grade van baie bekende Universiteite. Baie goed om al die boeke kennis te he, maar in Landbou is hierdie kennis ongelukkig net 'n klein deeltjie van die werklike praktiese kennis en wysheid wat 'n ware landbouer met baie jare se ondervinding leer en met sy eie skoolgeld betaal.

Suid-Afrika staan voor ’n keerpunt met sy kragkrisis. TLU SA doen ’n beroep op die regering om Eskom te privatiseer, want die huidige stand van sake kan die land oor die afgrond stuur.“TLU SA glo die privatisering van Eskom is die enigste antwoord en oplossing vir die land se energie en ekonomiese krisis. Eskom se probleme is operasioneel en finansieel.
