Cape Town – The Black Farmers Association of SA says it will not give up until medical cannabis licences are fair game, as they marched to the offices of the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority in Pretoria yesterday.
The BFASA has slammed the regulator for what it alleged amounted to “handing over’’ the local cannabis industry to “white monopoly colonialists” in the way it granted medical cannabis licences. The organisation said black people, including indigenous, monarchs and traditional healers, were being excluded.
In their memorandum, the organisation said Sahpra used the apartheid era act of 1965 to allow them to issue licenses to mainly whites only and foreigners, to the deliberate exclusion of the indigenous population. “The allegation that the Sahpra Board Chairperson, Prof Helen Rees, and the CEO, Dr Boitumelo Semete-Makoktlela, are issuing Medicinal Cannabis licences to affluent white people on the directive of the Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, is far from the truth.
CapeTimesSA In a united patriotic South Africa, the Farmers Association of SA would be marching. Maybe next time. It's a pity racial division prevents national unity and success. Why can people start talk to each other to build a better future together, for all? Hate will destroy us all.
