Durban – Farmers in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands are taking no chances after the first confirmed case of Covid-19 in Mpofana was reported last week.
He said the spread of the disease could infect more people, including farmworkers who lived in the area. He said when a sick employee was not allowed to work, it compromised the productivity on his farm. He said an infection on his farm could harm his business. When the Sunday Tribune visited Bruntville, it was clear the outbreak had caused a scare - the Lighthouse Community Hall, a feeding place for the destitute, was relatively empty.
He said he could not fold his arms when his neighbours were suffering because of the lockdown restrictions. “Your community is so important; if you do not look after it, your business won’t succeed. Contributions are unbelievable, from farmers feeding families to donating 500 grocery parcels.” Rhadebe, with the help of the farmers, businesspeople and community-based organisations, have been able to provide cooked meals to hundreds of people.
