South Africa has one of the largest economies on the African continent. Being one of the most technologically advanced and diversified economies in the whole country, South Africa’s GDP nearly tripled between 1996 and 2011, reaching its $416 billion peak. As of 2022, it stands at over $435 billion, with the purchasing power parity at $1.250 trillion, a constant increase from the previous years. Around the early 2010s, foreign reserves increased from $3 billion to nearly $50 billion, creating a strong economy and a sizable middle class. These changes appeared within two decades of the end of the apartheid, the institutionalized racial segregation that lasted from 1948 to the early 1990s. The total market capitalization of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange stands at $1.28 trillion as of late 2021, and while natural resource extraction remains one of the most significant contributors to the economy, the tertiary sector has been under continuous expansion since the end of the apartheid. As of 2014, the service sector employed nearly 72% of the labor force, while 23.5% worked in industry and 4.6% in agriculture. South Africa is the world’s largest producer of chrome, platinum, vanadium, vermiculite and manganese and the second-largest producer of palladium, zirconium and rutile.
Landsburgers sien, hoor en ervaar al hoe meer hoe die regstelsel, net soos dienslewering in die land, ongekende verval en agteruitgang toon. Net soos gewone mense swak dienslewering, veral op die platteland, aan hul lyf voel, is dit ook die geval met individue wat om een of ander rede aan die regstelsel uitgelewer is. Een van die redes vir die ineenstorting van munisipale dienste en infrastruktuur is die ANC se beleid van kaderontplooiing en die aanstelling van onbevoegde en onbekwame mense wat skynbaar min tot niks vir hul medemens omgee nie en hoofsaaklik op selfverryking ingestel is. Ernstige gevaarligte flikker ook binne die regstelsel waar dit op die oog af toenemend blyk dat landdroste en regters hul in posisies bevind waar hulle polities en ideologies gemotiveerde eerder as objektiewe regsuitsprake lewer.
Mnr. André Brink, graanboer van Durbanville in die Wes-Kaap, is op ’n luisterryke geleentheid in Boksburg as Graan Suid-Afrika (GSA) en Syngenta se Graanprodusent van die Jaar aangewys. Hy het in 1985 op die familieplaas Groot Phesantekraal begin boer en nou boer sy seuns, Rennie en Jeandré, ook saam met hom.Hulle bedryf ’n gemengde boerdery met graan en vee en sedert 1998 ook met druiwe. Die ander finaliste was mnre. JP Meintjes van Viljoenskroon in die Vrystaat en Gideon Koegelenberg van Makwassie in Noordwes. Mnr. Kallie Schoeman van Delmas het die hoogste eerbewys vir dienende of voormalige GSA-hoofbestuurslede, die Goue Graan-toekenning, ontvang. Mnr. Jannie de Villiers, voormalige uitvoerende hoof van GSA, is met die gesogte Inspirasie-toekenning vereer.
The world used to cultivate more than 6,000 different plants but about 75% of crop diversity has been lost in the last century and UN experts say we now get about 40% of our calories from three main crops — maize, wheat and rice. That means food supplies are vulnerable if climate change or war causes harvests to fail. The conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the fragility of food supply chains, which when interrupted can cause rising prices and fuel hunger.But the seed bank holds genetic secrets that could help farmers adapt to rising temperatures and drier or wetter conditions by planting more resistant, nutritious and higher-yielding crops as a way to tackle hunger and malnutrition.One in nine people do not have enough food today, while the world population is expected to reach 9.8-billion by 2050.
Public service & administration acting minister Thulas Nxesi has told the country’s more than 1.3-million public servants that he contemplates implementing the contentious final 3% wage hike offer to reduce uncertainties about the fiscal outlook as time is running out ahead of the medium-term budget policy statement (MTBPS). Unions demanded a 10% increase when negotiations began in May but trimmed it to 6.5% to match the headline inflation rate the Reserve Bank has forecast for 2022. The government opened the talks by rejecting all labour’s demands, proposing a wage increase freeze before gradually revising the figure upwards with offers of 1.5% and 2% and the final 3%, including the 1.5% automatic pay progression and continuation of the R1,000 a month post-tax cash gratuity, which started in April 2021 and will end in March 2023.
The Land Bank has finally reached an agreement with the majority but not all of its creditors and hopes to conclude a settlement by the end of the year or end-March 2023 at the latest, chairperson Thabi Nkosi said on Wednesday. “[W]e now have a solution which enjoys the support of the majority of lenders ... we have been able to craft a solution that not only focuses on the repayment of debt but also has the long-term sustainability of the bank at its core,” Nkosi told parliament’s finance committee. The Land Bank has been in default since April 2020, though R17.3bn of the R40.2bn defaulted capital amount had been repaid by early October and servicing the outstanding amount continues.
Dit het lekker gereen oor groot dele van die somerreenvalgebiede die afgelope 24 uur.

AGRI NEWS NET- Summary of the Week News -9th October 2022
There is widespread agreement that land reform in South Africa has failed to deliver the changes many hoped it would. Racially based dislocation and land dispossession were central features of colonial conquest and apartheid rule.
Permafrost is perennially frozen soil that covers about a quarter of the land in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in Canada, Russia and Alaska. Much of it is rich with the organic matter of long-dead plants and animals frozen in time.
Researchers believe that artificial intelligence could play a key role in boosting bird welfare in intensive poultry units. The technology, which can quantify distress calls made by birds housed in sheds, correctly distinguished distress calls compared to other barn noises with a 97% accuracy level, according to a new study.\
Precision real-time information on seeding depth, covering height and soil density of re-compacting is desirable during seeding, but is still unavailable. Continuous measurements in the soil with innovative sensor technology is offered by some manufacturers, but these measure, for example, the soil temperature, moisture, pH and quantity of organic matter.

Daardie warm, droë tyd van die jaar, hier skuins voor planttyd. Want as die boere eers begin plant, kry jy nie weer iemand in ’n saal voor Maart nie! Deesdae is die saamtrek so deel van die landboukalendar soos Nampo of die Bloemskou. Vanjaar was die eerste keer sonder die stigter dr. Michael Bradfield ná sy ontydige afsterwe vroeër vanjaar ná ’n moedige stryd teen kanker.
Dit lyk of sekere mense en veral die jonger geslag manne nie eintlik mooi weet wat se groot woord die woord "legende" is nie- of soos hulle so maklik se - "legend"- jy kan sekerlik nie 'n legende wees op 50 of nog minder op 40 of 30 jarige ouderdom nie. Iemand wat 'n legende is moet baie, baie diep spore trap oor baie jare en dit werklik verdien.
Beurtkrag, tesame met die onlangse versengende hitte, het miljoene rande se skade aan aartappel-oeste in Limpopo aangerig. Daarby moes duisende rande per week aan ekstra diesel bestee word om tydens die onderbrekings krag aan pakhuise met kragopwekkers te voorsien
