Durban - Members of the African Farmers' Association of SA have lent a hand to impoverished communities in the fight against poverty during lockdown.
On Friday, 25 cows were handed to the provincial government at an event held by the Department of Agriculture, in Cedara, near Pietermaritzburg. “We decided to start this initiative and the response is positive. We are expecting more, and many of our stakeholders want to come on board.” While receiving 25 cows from Afasa, Premier Sihle Zikalala said the department, in turn, has added 40 cows to ensure enough meat is available as part of the food parcels.
