Confusions and contradictions

Is poverty manufactured?

This is the first of its kind. The whole day dedicated to funding solutions to farmers, agroprocessors, and entrepreneurs across all agricultural value chains. @ThaboDithakgwe @13Keneilwe @OfficialGDARD @africanfarming_ africanfarming.com/2025/10/21/agr…

There's nothing sexy about farming. It can only be attractive when it's profitable!

Akere it's that time of the year!! Last year, from the auction, all I could get was 5 Buff Orpington chickens because @BushMasiu kept encouraging @NkosanaMtambo to outbid me. This Free State boys stand no chance. Lokisang dipokoto bafana baka, le tlo bona Muvhango🤣🤣

Some things aren't rocket science, we just need the will from decisive and honest leaders. @AEASA_LEVSA @dardlea_mpu @FAO @DOAgov_ZA @kzngov @kzndard @OfficialGDARD

The saddest part is that those who see potential and want to invest in these areas are blocked by charlatans who are driven by jealousy. They overlook the greater good of these investments, mainly job creation. @ANCLimpopo @LimpopoGcis @GDCoGTA @PhophiRamathuba

@omutloane @PhophiRamathuba I'm from the NW, and I look back at those days, and often seeing how everything the Bop government did turned to ashes, I just want to weep😢.

@PeterL_Mashala @PhophiRamathuba The concerning part is that in North West the BOP government could at scale build farm infrastructure ( cattle handling facilities, fenced grazing camps , boreholes etc ) at scale . Throughout the whole province. What remains is the remnants of that , but the demo can’t seem

Communal land is our biggest opportunity for agri development. We sit on millions of HA of high potential land. Due to lack of development, infrastructural, but mainly governance, it remains chaotic. The ones entrusted with it, are abusing their powers!@DLRRD_za @PhophiRamathuba
