Money set aside by government is not enough: Farmers' organisation - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The department of Agriculture and Rural Development has announced that R1,1 billion will be used for emerging farmers.

De Jager says farmers need to pay for production, salaries for employees and other logistics during the lockdown. De Jager adds, “If we do not produce now, if we do not plant now, there will be nothing to harvest and I know the minister is asking herself ‘where should the money come from? it’s way too expensive from what we can afford’, but let me tell you we have not calculated the cost of farming.”Mpumalanga farmers to receive relief vouchers

MEC for Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs in Mpumalanga Vusi Shongwe announced the relief measures during a meeting with farmer’s associations in Ermelo.

Farming is business and a business has to set aside money called 'general reserves' for situations like this Covid19. That De Jager should know better.

Funa malikanti... abelungu basafuna ukongezwa imali?

So true

Not enough! We are all struggling...

Money has never been enough to anyone. People must learn to appreciate and work within the affordable

Half a lof is better than nothing

Always this farmers want more money. We currently have a situation let us not be selfish please people! Please!

Yah it’s very young indeed...

Nothing is enough at the moment. Can we see that 'maak 'n plan' in action, please. We're all battling here.

Don't worry the anc is making more thn enough for themselves they don't care about others its all a sham and they think keeping us indoors will make it easier for them to loot even more while they donate so little for the most essential part which is food

You are sick while you not even paying enough wageses to your employees you not even suppose to benefit from you opportunist fricks

It’s never going to be enough for everyone! 🤦‍♀️
