[@darnellengelbrecht4400]

I agree with you, that’s a beautiful part of the country just a pity it’s not accessible because most people from outside the area (myself included) don’t know the roads and can’t pick their lines like experienced four by four drivers. Also a lot of people don’t have the patience or time frankly to put that sort of effort into a commute to especially when they’re on holiday

[@TheBoldAnalyst]

@@darnellengelbrecht4400 Absolutely! Simply put, imagine the spike in tourism if we didn't constantly have to consider the condition of the roads. Areas like this are heavily dependent on peak season tourism. You might think they only lose out on two months, but those months are what sustain them financially for the entire year.

[@darnellengelbrecht4400]

[@gailwaters814]

The fundamental tragedy of South Africa is that government officials can steal ALL taxpayer money (and do NO work) and the ANC will protect them, and the "geniuses" will keep on voting for this. This will keep on happening until every part of the economy collapses and suddenly the "geniuses" will starve to death. They are so intelligent that they are literally voting for their own destruction and the destruction of their children's children.

There are many people on this thread that need to understand that the government for the last 30 years have neglected many sectors of our nation. However, please don't jump to rascism because that makes no sense when the entire country depends on the produce and harvests that come from these farms. And lets not mention the huge illegal immigration problem we are dealing with as well. The honest truth, imo, is for the last 30 years we have been abandoned. The new GNU has breathed a new life of hope into many peoples hearts and minds. Lets pray that ministers John Steenhuisen and Dean Macpherson will step up and provide the support agriculturally and infrastructurally to ensure that these desperate farmers receive the support and backing to ensure that this disaster can be tended to for the sake of all South Africans.

I have a theory, hear me out and have an open mind. These officials are now flocking to theorise the agricultural industry since they have seen an incline of farmers emerging. With that being said, delaying the rehabilitation of roads and infrastructure of existing farms favours them(their families and friends) who are becoming farmers. Essentially they are cutting out competition who are the effected farmers.

[@russellmcphee72]

As has recent history shows, nobody can just become a farmer, it is a calling from a young age. Zimbabwe is a prime example of this. There are no other emerging farmers who have a hope because they are on the wrong type of land.

How does it make sense to cut out your competition when your destroying the infrastructure you need to be competitive? If your selling in a competitive market you need more than roads.

The Medical clinic in Sutherland is a death trap and patients need to be transported from Sutherland to Calvinia, the Calvinia Medical clinic is still functional. Sutherland doesnt have a ambulance, so the ambulance must be sent from Calvinia to Sutherland to collect patients, the ambulance used to drive with 2 to 4 extra spare tires when collecting patients.
