A Social Research Foundation (SRF) survey of 1,835 registered voters (4% margin of error) reveals overwhelming opposition to race-based government appointments and procurement, with 87% of all respondents (84% black, 84% ANC voters) favoring merit-based hires for tax-paying, job-creating businesses. Similarly, 74% overall (68% black, 64% ANC) want to abandon race quotas entirely, focusing solely on merit—views consistent across procurement policies.Dr. Frans Cronje, on the Makin Sense podcast, attributes this to BEE’s economic damage: stagnant GDP growth (0.7–1.1% annually over a decade), collapsed municipalities due to cadre deployment, and corruption masked by race-based laws. He notes BEE deters investment by “taxing capital on arrival” and that ANC leaders privately discuss exiting current BEE forms. SRF concludes the data shows cross-demographic support for meritocracy in public service to drive growth and restore trust.
By die onlangse kongres van die internasionale veeartsenykundige vereniging is bevestig dat inenting teen hoogs aansteeklike voëlgriep wetenskaplik en ekonomies effektief is, met suksesvolle veldtogte in Frankryk en ses Latyns-Amerikaanse lande. Geen tegniese struikelblokke bestaan meer nie—slegs regeringsbeleid ontbreek. Die pluimveebedryf gebruik steeds “18de-eeuse” uitwissingsmetodes ondanks 21ste-eeuse middels.FairPlay, wat die berig in sy nuusbrief publiseer, hoop minister John Steenhuisen en staatslui neem kennis. Dr. David Swayne en prof. Abul Omar beklemtoon inenting se rol in siektebeheer, met produsente en tegnologie gereed. In Suid-Afrika het Steenhuisen se belofte van grootskaalse inenting misluk weens amptenare se weiering om omslagtige, duur vereistes te wysig. Onderhandelinge het gestrand, wat die bedryf kwesbaar laat vir herhaling van die 2023-ramp.
Drie jaar nadat die voormalige minister van landbou, Thoko Didiza onverwags die landboumeesterplan (AAMP) deur n karige spannetjie lojale dissipels laat onderteken het, voordat sy haar sosiale ooreenkomsboksie triomfanklik tydens haar begrotingsdebat afgetiek het, is die meesterplan in n gat en al die koning se perde, en al die koning se manne, kan dit nie weer daar uitkry nie.

Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.
Accurate weather forecasts are something that many of us now just take for granted. Whenever I say this, people often complain about the inaccuracy of weather forecasts. But look at the data (I previously wrote about it) and you’ll find that they have improved a lot over the last 50 years. READ MORE
For much of 2025, discussions about the AAMP were revived only after the Department of Agriculture sought to review its progress and restore stakeholder engagement. Before that, the focus nationally was primarily on geopolitical matters and on the impact of U.S. tariffs on South Africa's agriculture. READ MORE

Farming isn’t your typical 9-to-5 gig. It’s a lifestyle that demands early mornings, late nights, and plenty of time operating machinery or walking the land. That’s where Audiocast shine. They’re hands-free, portable, and don’t care if you’re covered in dirt or steering through a muddy field. Unlike a book or a video, a Audiocast doesn’t ask you to stop what you’re doing—it joins you in the cab, the shed, or wherever the day takes you. And farmers are listening. Surveys suggest that a significant chunk of the agricultural community—some estimates say over a third—tune into ag-related podcasts regularly. Whether it’s catching up on market trends, learning about the latest in soil health, or just hearing a good story from another grower, these audio shows have become a go-to resource.

Michael Esmeraldo, besturende direkteur van Netafim Suid-Afrika, het tydens Agbiz se mediadag in Stellenbosch voorspel dat sertifiseringsliggame binne vyf tot tien jaar waterverbruik streng sal oudit, met boonste perke vir gewasse (bv. 750–800 mm vir sitrus) om volhoubaarheid te verseker.
In South Africa, running an electric vehicle (EV) on grid electricity costs about half as much as petrol, with EVs averaging R0.64–R0.80 per km (based on 19.1kWh/100km and electricity prices of R3.34–R4.21/kWh) compared to R1.53–R1.60 per km for petrol vehicles (7.4L/100km at R20.69–R21.63/L).
Die kans op ryp noord van die Suid-Vrystaat neem af, maar ’n onlangse ryp op 22–23 Oktober in Mpumalanga se hoëveld het somergraanboere verras. Mielies sal waarskynlik nie groot skade ly nie, maar sojabone is meer kwetsbaar vir koue.
The average price of potatoes on five major FPMs for the first three weeks of October 2025 was down by 58.7% year-on-year at R4.65/kg, while the corresponding volumes lifted by a whopping 28% year-on-year.
Vrystaat Landbou (VL) is bekommerd oor die vinnige verspreiding van bek-en-klouseer (BKS) in die provinsie, met 56 gevalle in nege gebiede.Die departement se versuim om bewegingsbeperkings en kwarantyn doeltreffend af te dwing, het die siekte versnel, laat boere geïsoleerd sonder veeartsenykundige ondersteuning of duidelike kommunikasie. Boere noem dit ’n “nasionale landbouramp” wat inkomste, voedselsekerheid, werk en uitvoermarkte bedreig.
South Africa’s first major legal test of expropriation without compensation is set for mediation on October 31, 2025, between the City of Ekurhuleni and Business Venture Investments 900 (BVI 900), owners of a 34-hectare vacant plot in Driefontein, Boksburg. If unsuccessful, the case heads to trial in Gauteng High Court in February 2026.
Ekonoom verbonde aan die Noordwes-Universiteit Sakeskool, professor Raymond Parsons, sê Suid-Afrika se verwydering van die gryslys sal help om beleggersvertroue te verbeter en die koste verbonde aan oorsese finansiële transaksies te verminder.
The South Africa Abalone Export Council, led by CEO Rhomona Gounden, is targeting the European market to diversify its export base at the Anuga Food and Beverage Trade Fair in Cologne, Germany (October 4–8, 2025), the world’s largest food trade show.
Mecia Petersen, uitvoerende hoof van die Suid-Afrikaanse Tafeldruifbedryf (Sati), het op Agbiz se mediadag in Stellenbosch beklemtoon dat Suid-Afrika se vrugte-uitvoer nie honger veroorsaak nie, maar eerder voedselsekerheid bevorder deur ekonomiese groei en werkskepping.
Energy expert Clyde Mallinson warns that South Africa’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2025, with its focus on costly gas and nuclear power, will waste R250 billion annually due to outdated planning and reliance on inflexible, expensive energy sources.
Wes-Kaapse koringboere staar ’n finansiële krisis in die gesig weens aanhoudende lae koringpryse, swak opbrengste, en wisselvallige weer. Die 2024-oes was veral swak met oormatige reën, lae grade, en hoë insetkoste, wat boere se finansiële posisie verder verswak het.
Africa already grows ~1.5–2.0 million tonnes (t) of lemons each year. This is led by South Africa (~700,000–780,000 t) and Egypt (~350,000–400,000 t), with Morocco & Sudan adding meaningful volumes. South Africa alone ships hundreds of thousands of tonnes annually and is among the world’s top lemon exporters.
Die Landbouskool Hendrik Potgieter in Reddersburg, Suid-Vrystaat, kweek die volgende geslag landboukundiges en leiers, met ’n besondere reputasie as die beste skaapskeerderskool.
Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist at Agbiz, highlights a projected fuel price drop in November 2025, with diesel (0.05% wholesale inland) decreasing by 33 cents per litre and petrol (95 ULP inland) by 57 cents, driven by a stronger ZAR/USD and stable oil prices.
’n Uitbreking van miltsiekte is in die Noord-Kaap bevestig ná positiewe toetse vir Bacillus anthracis in elandkarkasse. Jan Palm, TLU SA Noord-Kaap voorsitter, waarsku boere en grondgebruikers naby Ghaapse Berg, Douglas, om diere teen miltsiekte in te ent en streng biosekuriteit toe te pas. Miltsiekte, ’n hoogs aansteeklike bakteriese siekte.
