R1.2bn government fund to ensure food security in SA for six months

Didiza said applications would open from April 8 until April 22, and only applications received during this period would be processed.

Farmers in the category of people with disabilities would get 6%, and only SA citizens who had been farming for at least 12 months were eligible. “This is not comprehensive support but an intervention. With regards to the challenge the country is facing, farmers who are preparing for the 2020 summer production season will not be supported because they would not be going into production immediately.Farmers who were beneficiaries of other government financial support would not qualify for the R1.2bn allocation, said Didiza.

Didiza said: “The department has ring-fenced about R400m to farmers with the proactive land acquisition strategy, and the remainder will be channelled towards all farmers in the following criteria.

You have no idea what farming is do you. Clueless as can be!!!

What this lockdown enabled us to get a glimpse of , is that our government can be effortlessly effective and speedily provide services to its people, sadly we have to apply a bit of pressure first.

Six months? 👀
