Agri SA has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to declare a national state of emergency to bring an end to scenes of unrest playing out in parts of the country.

“The looting of shops, stoning of cars, blocking of roads, burning of trucks and crops, as well as theft of livestock, are posing a serious threat to food security in the country,” said Christo van der Rheede, executive director of Agri SA.

He said it was clear that criminals had no regard for law and order and that they would loot, destroy and steal until there was nothing left. Agri SA said a national declaration of a state of emergency should be coupled with the deployment of security personnel in all affected areas.
