NEWS- NUUS

Southern Africa has experienced agricultural trade friction in the past few years since Namibia and Botswana banned the import of South African vegetables and citrus. Simply put, the rationale of both Namibia and Botswana was that the import ban ensures their domestic producers are not exposed to South African competition, thus giving them space to rebuild for self-sufficiency. A new administration in Botswana under President Duma Boko brings the opportunity to reverse the prohibitions of the previous administration and encourage stronger regional agricultural production and trade. The priority should be to ensure that the people of Botswana can access high-quality agricultural and food products.

In die VSA word ’n ekonomiese bloeitydperk verwag. ’n Meer selfgeldende buitelandse beleid sal vroeg volgende jaar geïmplementeer word. Trump het tydens sy verkiesingsveldtog belowe om ’n einde aan die oorloë in Oekraïne en die Midde-Ooste te bring en om Afrika se buitelandse beleid in die algemeen weer in diens van die gewone Amerikaner te stel. Dit sal meer invoertariewe, ’n herbedink van Amerika se verhouding met baie lande in die wêreld en meer onderhandelings oor alles van handel, politieke en militêre samewerking – of soos die media verkies om na dit verwys “transaksionele buitelandse beleid” – insluit. Europeërs het lankal geweet dat hulle nie vir altyd van die VSA vir hulle veiligheid afhanklik sal kan wees nie. Tog het regerings regoor Europa vir dekades voortgegaan om hulle weermagte te verklein en te verwaarloos sodat geld op maatskaplike en ander projekte spandeer kon word. Om Trump vir die huidige pyn in Europa te blameer sal onbillik wees.

Die gulsigheid van sekere van die groot Korporatiewe maatskappye aandeelhouers en uitvoerende bestuur kos die verbruiker in Suid Afrika baie geld- want alles word afgewentel na die man in die straat. Hierdie mense lewe 'n leefstyl wat ver bo die normale is vir miljoene mense wat daagliks moet baklei vir oorlewing. Die winste wat op goedere gemaak word is absoluut 'n teken van gulsigheid.  Uitvoerende direkteure van banke en ander maatskappye leef in 'n ander wereld en hulle vakansie voorkeure is ver verwyder van die normale mens op straat.- Regeringsamptenare gaan hou vakansie in die buiteland- die alombekende Ski vakansie in die Alpe- hulle verdien dit- want hulle het hard gewerk en is goed betaal deur die belastingbetalers van Suid Afrika.  Te veel mense in Suid Afrika verdien hopeloos te veel vir wat hulle doen. Gaan kyk maar hoe spandeer hulle geld.  Daar word hopeloos te veel betaal vir Mediese dienste - gaan kyk gerus in wat se weelde werk hierdie mense wat maandeliks so gemaklik 'n premie uit jou rekening trek. Dis tyd dat jy kyk na jou uitgawes en jou betalings aan die mense begin minder maak. 

World Animal Protection is deeply concerned by the announcement that JBS, one of the world’s largest food companies, is expanding into Nigeria with a $2.5 billion investment plan. While JBS touts this move as an effort to boost local food security and develop sustainable production chains, we must carefully consider the animal welfare and environmental implications of this expansion and the sustainability of the whole project.  Factory farming, which JBS is known for, has been linked to a myriad of issues. The mass production of poultry, beef, and pork often involves close confinement of animals in deplorable conditions, leading to significant suffering. As JBS builds six new factories in Nigeria, it raises concerns about the welfare of millions of animals that will inevitably be subjected to factory farm conditions, where their fundamental needs for space, movement, and social interaction are ignored in favour of business-oriented production. Africa, including Nigeria, faces serious climate change challenges. Introducing JBS’s industrial animal agriculture model—known for its high carbon footprint—can worsen the country’s climate crisis and undermine its commitment to the Paris Agreement and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
