Weeklikse Afrikaanse Landbou Nuusoorsig - Die Afrikaanse Nuus is die afgelope paar dae op AGRI NEWS NET geplaas, saam met nog ander artikels. 

Die kwessie van voedselsekerheid en die geleenthede en bedreigings wat dit beïnvloed, het weer tot in diepte gesprekke gelei tydens georganiseerde landbou se kongres seisoen.Die landbou-ekonoom, professor Johan Willemse het op TLU SA se kongres gewys op die geleenthede wat daar vir boere is. Solank daar mense is, moet daar kos wees. Daar is talle geleenthede binnelands, maar ook om te kan uitvoer. Op Agri SA se kongres is die stelling gemaak dat daar geen voedseltekort is nie en dat die boere steeds suksesvol voortgaan. Intussen het Statistieke SA die jongste sensussyfers bekend gemaak. Daarvolgens blyk dit dat Suid-Afrika op pad is na ‘n bevolking van vyf en sestig miljoen, en kritici van dié syfers reken daar was ‘n beduidende onder-telling. Professor Willemse het op TLU SA se kongres al die syfer van sewentig miljoen gebruik, wat dalk nader aan die waarheid is. Dit beteken daar moet steeds méér voedsel geproduseer word net om die binnelandse monde te voed.

Dié warm toestande kan van Saterdag (28 Oktober) af afkoel met toestande vir reën oor die sentrale maar veral noordoostelike dele van die land wat van dan af kan verbeter met tropiese vog wat oor veral Botswana suidooswaarts beweeg. Reën is dan moontlik oor veral die oostelike dele van Noordwes, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, die noordelike dele van die Vrystaat en die noordelike dele van KwaZulu-Natal. “Dit lyk asof daar op 28, 29 en 30 Oktober weer kol-kol swaar reën kan voorkom in hierdie gebiede met ’n moontlikheid van vloede op plekke. In die noordelike dele van KwaZulu-Natal en die aangrensende dele van Mpumalanga is neerslae van meer as 40 mm moontlik. Intense donderstorms met ’n baie groot moontlikheid van hael kan voorkom. Baie min reën word van 24 en 27 Oktober oor die Wes-Kaap verwag, wanneer swak koue fronte ligte reën en bewolkte toestande oor veral die Suid-Kaap, die Tuinroete en gedeeltes van die Oos-Kaap kan veroorsaak tot Sondag 28 Oktober. Die minder reën word verwelkom deur veral wintergraanboere wat nou besig is om hul oes in te samel.

The BFAP noted that the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation’s (FAO’s) global Food Price Index for September had recorded a y-o-y drop of 10.7% (although sugar prices had risen), and a m-o-m decrease of 0.1% (although sugar prices again went up, as did those for cereals). Against the dollar, South Africa’s currency saw a y-o-y depreciation of 8.1% last month, from R17.56:$1.00 in September last year to R18.98:$1.00. The food categories with the highest y-o-y inflation in South Africa last month were sugar-rich foods (at 17.7%), vegetables (15.3%), dairy and eggs (11.2%) and bread and cereals (9.2%). However, for all four of these categories, the y-o-y inflation rate in September was lower than in August. Next came fish (8.7%), NAB (8.6%), fruit (6.7%) and meat (3.8%). 

Cienth Pty Ltd has applied for a permit to explore some 4,200ha of farmland in the Overberg Highlands for gold, silver and tin ore. It would then be able to apply for an exclusive 30-year mining permit covering the area, located just outside Napier on the southern tip of the African continent. The region’s grape growers and wine producers fear that productive farmland will be destroyed, food security will be threatened and jobs will be lost. ‘The consequences of this application being approved are too terrible to contemplate,’ said Bruce Jack, one of South Africa’s most renowned winemakers, who owns The Drift Estate in the region. ‘Unfortunately, things are stacked against us, and time is of the essence,’ he added. ‘Whoever is behind this application is determined to succeed and has substantial resources, both financial and otherwise.’ Cienth Pty Ltd does not have a website, and it is unclear who is behind the company. It has applied to South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources & Energy for the permit.

As jy nie na jou liggaam en gesondheid omsien nie, dit nie instand hou nie- verkeerde ongesonde kos eet en drink wat jy wil- rook en drankmisbruik- dwelms gebruik- nie slaap nie- nie oefening doen nie- oorgewig is - onverantwoordelik is oor jou gesondheid, denke en gedrag - is jy SELFSUGTIG  teenoor die mense wat lief is vir jou waarmee jy saamleef en bly. Daar is niks so vervullend as om 'n gesonde Pappa en Mamma te he en daarmee saam 'n gesonde Oupa en Ouma nie. Dit is wat waarde toevoeg tot jou menswees. Net so wil ouers ook sien dat hulle kinders gesond oud word.  READ MORE  -

Take accountability and be proud of yourself and your body- Don't lose your dignity- stay away from negative people- you are not a sheep to follow others. Get excited about yourself and your own people - Stand firm - you came into the world alone- you are going out into the world alone. There is nothing as fulfilling as having a healthy Father and Mother and with it a healthy Grandpa and Grandma. This is what adds value to your humanity. Similarly, parents also want to see their children grow old healthy.  READ MORE 

Pollution, industrial development, agricultural intensification, land use change, and other damaging human activities are degrading and diminishing watersheds, rivers, and lakes.  Between 2014 and 2018, the Theewaterskloof reservoir, one of the largest water supply systems near Cape Town in South Africa, dropped to 27% of its full capacity.

For some conservation and welfare groups, in fact, shooting high-profile or other species is abhorrent, and they worry the practice is damaging South Africa’s economy, even though the hunting industry may generate a rough spending stimulus of about US$180-million (R3.4-billion) a year.  READ MORE
