Kwanalu, Agri SA as well as other provincial unions recently expressed concern over the poor road conditions in rural areas of the country and the significant impact it has on food security, the agricultural sector and economic growth.
“We are aware of reports from the midlands and coastal regions (north and south) which seem to be the worst affected, however, reports continue to come in. With the severe devastation of the infrastructure, and in particular roads and bridges around the port, the passage of goods and services is highly restricted. Access to relevant drop-off and collection points for agricultural products and supplies which are time-sensitive will impact directly on the sector,” said Kwanalu CEO, Sandy La Marque.
