We all know that farming is hard work and gets more challenging each year as the industry is faced with huge demands on tight budgets using few resources. When time and productivity is of the essence in farming activities, Manitou has many creative solutions to make material handling simpler, faster and safer. The essence of
The police and farmers from Iswepe, near Piet Retief in Mpumalanga on 18 July 2019, cemented some steady relationships in the community. The official gathering between the MEC for Community Safety and Security in Mpumalanga – Cynthia Shabalala, the Provincial Commissioner of the Police – Genl. Zuma, Mpumalanga Agriculture, and TLU SA raised very positive
Young farmers from across the country should jump to enter the 2021 TLU SA Young Farmer of the Year competition. Entries close on 18 June 2021. In conjunction with Santam Agriculture, Manitou, CMH Ford and Introlab, the competition became very popular. There are big prizes to be won, including a trip to Paris, France, for
TLU SA deplores the poor quality of the government’s impact study on expropriation without compensation made public by Sakeliga this week. It is an excellent example of the lack of knowledge in state departments to compile and report critical information. The document – compiled at the instruction of the Department of Public Works – forms
Pres Cyril Ramaphosa’s comments that the ANC does not endorse a nationalisation policy do not put TLU SA at ease that all land (and property) will not eventually be in the hands of the government. After the reply on the presidential budget, Pres Ramaphosa said that the ANC wants people to own land and not
The further suggested amendments to Section 25 of the Constitution – shortly before the deadline – is nothing more than the ANC trying to coax the EFF before the elections. The ad hoc committee must complete their work today, 31 May 2021, but announced on Friday that they now want to amend the entire Section
TLU SA finds the suggested amendments to the Firearm Act absurd and contradictory to the South African constitution. The Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa states that every person has the right to a safe environment. Since the government miserably fails to guarantee the safety of South Africans, every person should have
TLU SA urged young farmers to join organised agriculture structures to take on the industry’s challenges jointly during the recent Young Farmers Conference. The annual Young Farmers Conference had to be suspended last year because of lockdown regulations. This year the TLU SA Young Farmer Committee hosted the conference from the head office in Silverton,
TLU SA has no sympathy for the Minister of Police, Mr Bheki Cele’s sleepless nights about the country’s unacceptable DNA backlog in the police’s forensic department. He is the cause of the backlog and should stand aside to let a capable person clean up his mess. TLU SA launched a petition to have the minister
From the comments at the Portfolio Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure’s public hearings on the Expropriation Bill, it is clear the participants have no idea of the implications this bill holds. Thus it is up to the ad hoc group for the protection of private ownership to warn the public about the consequences for

On 21 February 2021, TLU SA wrote a letter to the Minister of Health requesting that farmworkers be considered as a priority group for vaccination against Covid-19. Farmworkers perform an essential service and have been classified as such since the beginning of the restriction. The potential exposure of workers to Covid-19 is significantly high and

Bennie van Zyl, general manager of TLU SA Of course, it is great when the grain falls into the harvester machine’s bin and you reach new record levels of tons. However, the question is, what did it cost to get to this point? Agricultural success is measured in economic results. It is the last line
11 January 2021 Dear Mr Ramaphosa With 2020 behind us and the new year in full swing, it’s an excellent time to evaluate where we are in our lives – in our personal circumstances, families and work, and of course also in the context of South Africa. Mr Ramaphosa, it is time for the government
We all know that water is life and yet it is often taken for granted. Many farming areas in South Africa are experiencing severe drought for many consecutive year, leaving them unable to sustain their farms as they are unable to supply their livestock with food and water. In addition to this, agriculture is one

Dear President Ramaphosa Statements made to SANEF Regarding your conversation with SANEF on 31 May 2020, TLU SA seeks clarity about your statements calling the heritage of our economy racist and colonialist. You owe it to South Africa to explain in detail what is meant by radical economic transformation. Your statements exhibit a lack of
The Fourth Industrial Revolution offers the agricultural industry the opportunity to not only increase productivity but also better support for farmers and economic sustainability.

South Africa’s diverse weather and climatic conditions enable the country to cultivate and produce a variety of fruits.
