Just that " ONE" step ahead-
Etlike miljoene euro’s gaan uiteindelik, ná ’n gesloer van meer as 20 jaar, in Oktober na die wynbedryf begin vloei om transformasie te versnel. As deel van ’n ooreenkoms tussen Suid-Afrika en die Europese Unie (EU) wat meer as 20 jaar gelede gesluit is, het die EU €15 miljoen aan die Suid-Afrikaanse regering bewillig om transformasie in die wyn- en spiritualieëbedryf te versnel. Die eerste twee dele van die geld is onlangs oorbetaal aan Suid-Afrika. Wynplase en -handelsmerke in swart besit tel onder diegene wat daarvoor kan aansoek doen.
We make some very good wines, for example, but if you look in any overseas supermarket you’ll find SA in the “value” section on the bottom shelf. That’s not where the money is. We sell a paltry $150m into the Chinese wine market, valued at $42bn, giving a market share of just 0.36%. Wandile Sihlobo’s point is well made (“SA must develop a bold, export-driven strategy for agriculture”, September 25). It clearly speaks to the continued inability of the ANC government to exploit our natural resources. For decades it has prevaricated between land redistribution and capital intensive large-scale farming, presumably because the latter is still the preserve of white Afrikaans men. Its experiments with race-based legislation and subsistence farming have largely been a failure. BLIVE
"Suid Afrika se Reserwebank hou aan om Suid Afrikaners se welvaart te vernietig met hulle traagheid om rentekoers te verlaag- Dis absoluut belaglik dat Suid Afrikaners onderdanig moet wees aan die bank se besluite en die 5 verteenwoordigers wat hulle stemme uitbring. Landbou moet daadwerklik sy menig uitspreek en die bank onder druk plaas."
The Western Cape is truly blessed with a unique and spectacular biodiversity,” said Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Anton Bredell. “As our understanding of the connectedness between human well-being and the environment deepens, the importance of protecting and nurturing our natural environment and ecological infrastructure is highlighted. Therefore I fully support this initiative from CapeNature as it will help to add our voice to the global voice advocating for more and stronger environmental protection.”
’n Brand wat Donderdag by Memel in die Vrystaat uitgebreek het, het reeds 40 000 tot 50 000 hektaar grond verwoes en is steeds buite beheer. Die presiese skade weens die brand sowel as die oorsaak is egter nog onbekend. Wicus van der Merwe, sekretaris van Memel se boerevereniging, sê die huidige skatting is dat ongeveer 70% van die grond in Memel reeds onder die brande deurgeloop het. Volgens Burre Burger die hulporganisasie Droogtehulp is boere genoodsaak om hul vee te skiet en baie boere se skure het afgebrand. Francois Wilken, voorsitter van Vrystaat Landbou (VL), het bevestig dat hulle ook ’n versoek vir hulp ontvang het.

Each one’s social status and the “signature” structure of its call was also documented. READ MORE
