How the state condemned emerging farmers to poverty

They lost their livestock, grain, equipment and, ultimately, their livelihoods on June 26 last year, when a government-contracted security company evicted them from the state-owned farmland they had occupied for almost two decades.

“This happened at the time of Covid-19, when food was scarce. We have that problem here. The public works department in Gqeberha has done this. They don’t want to take responsibility, but it is them who initiated this.” No one came to us. That is why it was a surprise to us, after we’ve been there almost 20 years. It was difficult. We have been trying to get a lease agreement, which we never received until 2020. We tried to get a lawyer to challenge the problem, but our lawyer passed on in May last year.

“The applicants alleged that they had a 50-year verbal lease agreement with the department, but this was denied by the department as there was no record of this, nor was there any supporting documentation to substantiate their claim.”City Press has seen several documents relating to the occupation of the farm.

Editorial | Who will carry the huge cost? | CitypressTop of the agenda will be the world’s energy crisis and the push to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2030. This will require a radical shift from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy to reduce destructive carbon emissions. If you need a gardner, handyman or cleaner, please consider me 🙏. You can even use me as a servant boy doing any odd jobs 🙏. Just as long as I feed my family. My children have been sleeping hungry for almost a week now and I feel helpless as a father💔😔 If we don't have the funds, why are we under pressure of renewals then, it's not like renewables work with developed countries, they're burning everything flammable(wood chips) for energy, & won't prevent people from doing like wise when electricity is unaffordable, it's a scam.
