The newly elected chairperson of the KwaZulu-Natal branch of the African Farmers Association of Southern Africa (AFASA), Phikelela Zondi, has vowed to confront the growing challenges facing farmers in the province, including rampant livestock theft and the shortage of agricultural land.
Zondi made the commitment after being elected at the organisation’s recent meeting held in Cedara, Pietermaritzburg.
While expressing gratitude for the confidence placed in him, Zondi said he was deeply concerned about the many difficulties affecting the agricultural sector in KwaZulu-Natal.
Among the key issues topping his priority list is the escalating scourge of livestock theft, which he described as a major burden on farmers.
