Farmers in the Free State say it will take time to recover from the devastating fires that ravaged farms in the province. Wildfires were exacerbated by strong winds over the weekend.
In Brandfort alone a total of 13 farmers were affected while more than 9500 hectares of land was burned. National roads were also closed to avoid vehicle accidents. 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.”
