SA Canegrowers chair Andrew Russell says 1,135 irrigated growers are very badly affected by load-shedding, who in turn employ more than 10,000 workers

The sugar industry is in for a R723m loss due to load-shedding. File picture: EMIL VON MALTITZ.

“With milling giant Tongaat Hulett in business rescue, and the destructive health promotion levy already hampering the industry, these losses are potentially catastrophic for growers and the industry’s workers,” said SA Canegrowers chair Andrew Russell.An estimated 34% of SA’s sugar cane is produced in irrigated areas including Komatipoort and Malelane in Mpumalanga, and Pongola in KwaZulu-Natal.

“But the converse also applies — growers pay a significantly higher rate for pumping during peak demand times. As a result of load-shedding, growers have been forced to irrigate whenever electricity is available, regardless of demand.”“Growers need a minimum of six hours of continuous energy for proper irrigation. As a result of the intermittency of the power supply disrupting irrigation, irrigated growers will lose up to 40% water capacity.

Loadshedding predicted to cost sugar industry more than R700mLoadshedding predicted to cost sugar industry more than R700m: South Africa's sugar industry is set to lose more than R700m this year due to load-shedding, according to data compiled by SA Canegrowers. And… When they increase their prices, the Competition Commission will be on their back… Damned if they do, damned if they don’t… I wonder if anyone will provide an analysis on the impact loadshedding has had on industry as a whole 🤔

South Africans urged to bury dead within four days amid load shedding, heatwave | BusinessUnrelenting load shedding coupled with a heatwave across parts of South Africa are causing bodies to decay much faster at funeral parlours, an industry body has warned. | News24_Business _Business 🤮🤮🤮 _Business Back in 1999, my grandmother lay in a morgue for a week in Eshowe (it's always Hot there) with no electricity and a dead guy with an axe in his head on top of her. The smell was vicious, it took days to get that out my nose,and I will never unsee it. This is not a new thing. _Business This article actually traumatises me, there is no respect even for the dead, this ineptitude that rules over us has stripped every South African dead or alive of their dignity. I hope Hell is real.
