The R30m pledge to assist farmers in the severe drought of the Northern Cape is hardly a drop in the ocean.
David Mabuza indicated that he may be visiting the drought-stricken Northern Cape to determine for himself the extent of the drought and the conditions in which the farmers find themselves.
The Department is guilty of having spent considerable time in the agricultural sector, and Mabuza owes the farmer an explanation, one of the farmers said.
Meanwhile, he promised drought relief in the form of animal feed to the area’s farmers, but farmers remained skeptical of the promise.
