If expropriation without compensation wasn’t enough, now ANC regime plans new land tax for SA farmers as well

Posted on Leave a comment

A series of proposals such as the possibility of a land tax for farmers and limits on ownership and constitutional amendment were tabled on Sunday by the president’s task force on land reform.

Minister of Agriculture, Land Affairs and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza released the report on Sunday, but without much emphasis on the objections and suggestions by Dan Kriek, president of Agri SA, and mega-farmer Nick Serfontein.

Netwerk 24 reported earlier that the report proposes a constitutional amendment to allow expropriation without compensation under certain circumstances and with strict conditions.

The panel refers to those conditions contained in the Expropriation Bill. These are cases where tenants stay on the ground, where land is kept for speculative purposes only, state-owned land, where the landlord has abandoned the land or where government subsidies to the owner were more than the current market value.

Only 36,000 commercial farmers provide food for around 58 million in SA, but they are hunted and slaughtered like animals, and the ANC regime does nothing about it at all

Posted on Leave a comment

Rural safety is falling short in the Free State as well as in the rest of the country. Farmers are being hunted and that creates a situation that is unbearable for farmers and their workers.

A farmer from Oranjeville in the Free State, who was attacked early on Monday morning, is the latest victim in the war that is being waged against our country’s farmers by merciless criminals. The attackers, who fled with the farmer’s Isuzu bakkie, were injured and one was killed when the vehicle overturned.

Rural safety must be a priority for the government. It is not enough to take action after an attack as then it is usually too late. Proper preventative measures must be implemented to stop or thwart such attacks.

The legal system must ensure that farm attackers are removed from society and stricter bail conditions must be set for those who are charged with serious and violent crimes, like farm attacks and murders.

Real farm murders statistics for 2018: 460 farm attacks and 64 farm murders – yet SA president says no farmers are being murdered

Posted on Leave a comment

From 1 January to 31 December 2018, there were 460 farm attacks and 64 farm murders in South Africa. That equates to one farmer being murdered every 5.7 days and 1.3 farm attacks per day on average.

Whilst the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, and the ANC government is denying the existence of these attacks, the horrific fact is that the white minority are under siege and black leaders are openly calling for the killing of whites.

South Africa can face food shortage with the Ramaphosa regime’s landgrab actions – Farmers unwilling to sow or plant because they are afraid of financial implications

Posted on Leave a comment

With the inability of the Ramaphosa regime to clearly understand what farmers are facing from the when the landgrab action that will soon begin, farmers are worried that they will face financial ruin.

The different scenarios are analysed one after the other, one of which makes farmers unwilling to sow or to plant.

The farmers believe the risk is too high to harvest land and then the government confiscates the land for the benefit of the so-called new owner.

The second source of concern is who will be responsible for the exercise that has to be undertaken and who is responsible for the mortgage on the farm.

Even though only a portain of the farm is being taken under the land expropriation action, the problem remains the same. Farmers would rather no longer incur any costs, fearing that they should pay the costs without the income on the ground.

If political leaders of the ANC regime ignore all fears, or reject it as speculation, the

Farmers across SA are are currently experiencing huge losses due to Eskom’s unreliable service and continues load shedding

Posted on Leave a comment

Farmers across the country, but especially in the soft fruit industry, are at wits end. All this because of the continues load shedding that is currently employed throughout South-Africa. Vessels that deliver water at a certain time of the day for a certain time are now affected by power failures.

The “cold chain”, namely cooling of export fruit is constantly interrupted by irregular power supply, and adversely affects the quality.

This will cause millions of Rand’s damage, and where fruit can no longer be exported due to power failures, the country can lose its status as a reliable supplier.

Dairy’s that works with sensitive and extremely perishable products are now forced to obtain a backup power generator because of the unreliability of Eskom’s service.
