Livestock actions banned in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo following outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease – consumers can prepare themselves for some hefty price increases for meat products

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA is shocked after the announcement that livestock auctions in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West have been suspended until further notification by the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. This announcement follows after the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the Molemole district of Limpopo.

“This is a big blow to the livestock and game farmers in the country, who are already being forced to their knees by the drought,” says Mr. Henk van de Graaf, the regional chairman of TAU SA Norht. “The sale of herds was the only remaining solution for farmers who no longer have food for their animals and now this way of escape is also removed.”

TAU SA realizes that serious action must now be taken to prevent the highly contagious disease but they do not believe that suspending auctions will solve the problem. Rather, the government must ensure that the measures originally put in place must be strictly adhered to an

Its still theft, no matter what you call it! ANC regime continues land expropriation without compensation policy

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA is preparing to assist landowners in expropriation cases without compensation. This follows after the discussions with the ad hoc committee appointed by Parliament to submit proposals on how Art. 25 of the constitution – which deals with expropriation without compensation – must be amended.

“It is clear that the committee’s focus is solely on how the law should be amended, and not what the consequences of the amendments will be,” said Mr. Louis Meintjes, the president of TAU SA. “Any input from stakeholders representing farmers is simply dismissed as irrelevant.”

“It is extremely worrying that aspects such as effects on the economy, investment uncertainty, ratings by credit agencies and most importantly, food security, bear no weight in this process. The only matter of importance is that land should be expropriated despite multiple examples of how it failed because of corruption, ignorance and greed. I

Malfunctioning ANC regime is pushing agriculture across an economic abyss and is calling for the destruction of SA’s food security

Posted on Leave a comment

The TAU is of the opinion that the malfunctioning ANC government is actively pushing the agricultural sector across an economic abyss and is calling for the accelerating rate of destruction of South Africa’s food security.

This according to Mr. Johan Steyn, Chairman: TAU SA Eastern Cape, following the revelation that the government could not convince the World Animal Health Organization (EIA) to declare South Africa as foot-and-mouth free.

“According to our information, the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Reform was supposed to make two submissions to the EIA,” he says. “The purpose of this was to restore our country’s foot-and-mouth disease status. At the first submission, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) did not want to release the serological results because the OVI department owes money. With the second submission that was due to take place, Onderstepoort was unable to analyze because no sampl

TAU SA: Draconian idea of ​​expropriation without compensation by ANC regime cannot continue – South Africa and its inhabitants too precious to implement dangerous policies that threaten fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA, once again, as part of the ad hoc group focusing on the government’s expropriation without compensation, has just met again to reflect on the matter.

The convener of the Ad hoc group, Mr. Jaco Schoeman said at the last meeting that the future of South Africa and its inhabitants was too precious to allow the draconian idea of ​​expropriation to continue without compensation.

In the face of worsening poverty and rising unemployment, the government persists in its pursuit of harmful and dangerous policies that provide no solutions to the socio-economic issues facing South Africa. On the contrary, policies such as expropriation without compensation further undermine fundamental economic and other structures and systems in the country and pose an enormous threat to economic and accompanying social progress.

Once again, concerns have been expressed that the government is pursuing the policy of land expropriation without compensation

The ANC regime now wants to loot your pension money to save their struggling state entities

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA expressed concern about the statements made on public forums by the ANC government where advocacy is being made to use SA’s pension capital for investment in so-called fixed assets. The size of the exit funds can make a huge impact on the national economy; according to the 2017 annual report of the pension fund registrar, the total assets of pension funds currently amount to R4.2 billion, where public sector pension funds (GEPF) make up 40% of the total amount.

According to TAU SA, the only two remaining assets on which the regime can further tarnish are land and pensions. Everyone is aware of the ANC’s plan to expropriate land without compensation. The writing is now also on the wall for South Africa’s pension money. Kobus Oberholster, Head of TAU SA’s Financial Wellness Desk says they can’t sit still and allow our people’s hard-earned pension, built up over decades, to be dumped into bottomless pits of Eskom, SAA, PRAS
