AGRICULTURAL NEWS - Agri SA and the African Farmers’ Association of South Africa (AFASA) have called on government to step up action against escalating violence currently evident across South Africa.
This ranged from farm attacks, attacks on truck drivers, xenophobic attacks, and violence against vulnerable groups, such as women and children.
The violence, according to these farmers’ associations, was not only detrimental to the country as a whole, but was negatively affecting agricultural production and, in effect, food security and job security, as well as income generation on farms.
