Since May 2023 a total of 3400 wildfires have been recorded in the province. A local farmer in Brandfort, Petri Bezuidenhout, says their losses run into millions of rand.Another farmer De Klerk Fourie says there’s still no information about the cause of the fires but farmers wish for rain.
“This was scary. We were running after animals in that raging fire but we were also scared for our lives.”
