Vrystaat Landbou (VL) het \u2019n dringende beroep op die regering gedoen om die staatsmonopolie op die hantering van die bek-en-klouseerkrisis (BKS) te be\u00ebindig en boere toe te laat om onmiddellik self diere in te ent. Volgens die organisasie dreig die voortgesette onbeheerde verspreiding van die siekte om die land se vleisbedryf op sy knie\u00eb te dwing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Francois Wilken, president van Vrystaat Landbou, s\u00ea die huidige benadering is onvoldoende om die krisis te beheer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns moet dringend die staatsmonopolie oor die BKS-krisis breek sodat entstof onmiddellik in boere se hande geplaas kan word. Indien dit nie gebeur nie, word die hele land se vleisbedryf ernstig bedreig,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VL, wat sedert 1904 vir die volhoubaarheid van die landbousektor beywer, voer aan dat verskeie realiteite erken moet word om die krisis doeltreffend aan te spreek. Volgens die organisasie word BKS wel as \u2019n staatsbeheerde siekte geklassifiseer, maar daar is tans min tot geen werklike beheer oor die verspreiding daarvan nie. Bestaande protokolle en regulasies is ontwikkel vir \u2019n land met \u2019n BKS-vrye status \u2013 \u2019n status wat Suid-Afrika volgens VL reeds verloor het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie wys verder daarop dat die beperking van dierebeweging in praktyk nie effektief toegepas kan word nie en dat verhoogde biosekuriteitsmaatre\u00ebls tot dusver nie daarin geslaag het om die verspreiding van die virus te keer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Friedl von Maltitz, vise-president van VL, kan boere nie langer bekostig om plase te sluit sonder \u2019n volhoubare oplossing nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns moet dadelik begin inent. Die ekonomiese volhoubaarheid en voortbestaan van die veebedryf is in gedrang,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilken het verder beklemtoon dat boere nie vir langtermynplanne kan wag terwyl die siekte vinnig versprei nie. Hy het aangevoer dat die staat se huidige hantering van die krisis dui op ernstige tekortkominge in kapasiteit en stelsels. Hierdie bevindinge, s\u00ea hy, word bevestig in \u2019n verslag wat op 18 Mei 2022 deur die taakspan oor diere-biosekuriteit saamgestel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die taakspan, aangestel deur die destydse minister van landbou, grondhervorming en landelike ontwikkeling, Thoko Didiza, het bevind dat Suid-Afrika tekortskiet in die monitering van die ontwikkeling van dieresiektes, die tydige diagnose daarvan, asook die implementering van realistiese en wetenskaplik gefundeerde biosekuriteitsmaatre\u00ebls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VL is van mening dat die staat nie oor die vermo\u00eb beskik om \u2019n grootskaalse nasionale inentingsprogram doeltreffend uit te rol nie. Die organisasie verwys ook na die hantering van die Covid-19-pandemie as voorbeeld van die risiko\u2019s verbonde aan staatsbeheer, waar beduidende bedrae geld verlore gegaan het weens korrupsie en wanbestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gevolglik doen Vrystaat Landbou \u2019n beroep op die regering om die onmiddellike invoer van geskikte BKS-entstowwe deur privaat instansies toe te laat en om dit sonder verwyl aan boere beskikbaar te stel vir aankoop en toediening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTyd vir praat is verby. Boere het nie meer weke of maande om te wag nie,\u201d het Wilken ges\u00ea. \u201cDaar moet nou opgetree word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VL doen \u2018n ernstige beroep vir samewerking en eenheid binne die landbousektor om die krisis dringend te be\u00ebindig en die vernietigende impak van die virus te beperk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
