Organised agriculture in KwaZulu-Natal fears that the country’s food security and economic growth are at risk if the rural infrastructure isn’t improved urgently.

[File Image] A number of roads in KwaZulu-Natal have developed potholes.

Only half of the farmers say roads are being repaired, but most of them said the repairs were inadequate. One such road is the P8-3 linking the farming community with Creighton in the south of KwaZulu-Natal. Both farmers and community members say the road is dangerous because it is narrow and has potholes.

The union’s CEO Sandy La Marque says, “We approached every single one of our associations and all of the districts of KwaZulu-Natal and we asked them what is the state of the roads in your area and 76% said the roads are in poor condition.”
