DIE ANC-regering se bromanse met Vladimir Putin en steun vir sy oorlog in Oekraïne is besig om ernstige skade aan Suid-Afrika se aansien in die internasionale gemeenskap aan te rig – sonder dat daar enige voordele vir die land is. Die jongste voorbeeld is dat pres. Cyril Ramaphosa nie, soos die afgelope vier jaar gebeur het, na die spitsberaad van die G7-groep lande genooi is nie. “Suid-Afrika se dae as die wêreld se liefling in Afrika, van ver bo ons gewigsafdeling boks, is verby,” sê ’n veteraan-diplomaat vir my. “Die Weste en lande soos Japan gaan dalk nie openlik druk op Ramaphosa toepas nie, maar ons gaan stil-stil gestraf word vir ons steun aan Rusland. Die feit dat Ramaphosa nie dié keer na die G7-beraad genooi is nie, is ’n subtiele maar duidelike boodskap.”
The Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa has asked the government for an urgent update on its interventions to stop the EU requiring refrigeration of oranges, which it says will leave some farmers without a livelihood. New false codling moth regulations passed in June 2022 require mandatory cold treatment of SA oranges entering EU markets. Oranges must be kept at temperatures of 2°C or lower for 25 days adding to farmers' costs.
The data released by Statistics South Africa this week shows that consumer food price increases accelerated by 14,4% in March 2023 from 14,0% in the previous month. The food product prices that increased notably were milk, eggs, and cheese; fruit; vegetables; and sugar, sweets and desserts. We expect consumer food price increases to remain sticky at relatively higher levels for the coming month, which will likely be a peak.
Despite serious allegations that two of his Cabinet members are implicated in rampant corruption at Eskom, President Cyril Ramaphosa says he sees no need to receive a briefing about it from his national security advisor, Sydney Mufamadi, or Minister Pravin Gordhan - Eskom’s shareholder representative. Instead, Ramaphosa believes that, in line with the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act (PRECCA), a person in a position of power, such as former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter who made the allegations, had a duty to report any corrupt activity to law enforcement officials.
Pogings om die land se elektrisiteitskrisis op te los is besig om vas te val in ’n onverkwiklike magstryd tussen drie ministers wat elkeen ’n hand in die Eskom-spel het. Sewe weke nadat dr. Kgosientsho (Sputla) Ramokgopa as minister van elektrisiteit aangestel is, wag hy steeds op pres. Cyril Ramaphosa om hom die nodige magte te gee om sy werk te doen. En Ramaphosa kry dit nie gedoen nie omdat die twee ministers verantwoordelik vir energie – Gwede Mantashe en Pravin Gordhan – hulle verset teen enige pogings om Ramokgopa se magte uit te brei.
State-owned Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) says it has started handling citrus exports at the Durban and Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) container terminals for the season. The season posed many challenges for South African farmers and, to this end, the container terminals will be open over a 24-hour period and have dedicated lanes prioritising refrigerated containers at the gates.
For decades, South African farmers have bred the king of beasts as a commodity. Many of the country’s 300 or so farms, which hold 10,000 or more captive lions, are geared to tourists who want to get close to the animals—even walk with them or pet cubs. Some farmers charge trophy hunters thousands of dollars for the guaranteed opportunity to shoot a lion for its head, skin, teeth, or claws. READ MORE
The mood in the global Urea market returned to pessimism over prices after last week’s flurry of purchasing in the US caused some excitement. It is now evident that the American purchasing was prompted by unexpected restrictions in the Mississippi River (the main conduit for imported urea to reach the US corn belt). READ MORE
There is no doubt that South Africa needs a new Expropriation Act. It is important to note that the Expropriation Bill is merely a procedural bill, it grants no powers of expropriation to anyone other than the minister of public works and infrastructure and only for purposes connected to his/her mandate.

Gedagte vir die dag
Dit was lankal tyd om jou los te maak van die negatiewe media in Suid Afrika en die wereld. Jy is nie 'n skaap om ander te volg nie.
Wanneer ons oor die krisis van die Suid-Afrikaanse bedeling en ook oor die krisis van die moderne wêreld praat, is dit belangrik om soms net weer te gaan vasstel hoe ons voorouers oor sekere dinge gedink het, en om te gaan kyk of hulle nie dalk al lankal antwoorde gehad het vir vandag se probleme nie. Tradisie is ’n stel oplossings is waarvan ons die probleme al vergeet het. Ons mag dalk net vind dat ons moderne probleme juis nou opduik, omdat die oplossings wat ons voorouers reeds vir daardie probleme ontwikkel het, juis vandag met die badwater uitgegooi word.

Women in agriculture deserves recognition. These women are in most cases graduated or with some form of post-school tertiary qualification and a leader in hear community, church, at the local school, clinic and plays a role in keeping the daily activities on the farm, running.A Women who forms part of the decision making on the farm, support her husband to adapt to the changes in weather, government rules, managing the finances of the farm as a business.A Women who offers an input before agricultural meetings and conferences. This Women has a direct input in the management of the farm and allows her husband to be a farmer and allows him to farm. A Women without a platform to raise her own voice.The reality is that men as farmers compete in competitions, wins luxury vehicles and invited to international agricultural trade and study tours, but never such an opportunity for women in agriculture.

Agriculture contributes about 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, according to the United Nations.

With climate change intensifying and animal diseases likely to become more prevalent, the Department of Agriculture should consider earmarking part of their annual budget to deal with outbreaks, says Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist at the Agricultural Business Chamber.
