\u201cLandbou is \u2019n werkwoord. Dit verwys na: die land is stukkend, bou die land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00edt was die woorde van dr. Ivan Meyer, die provinsiale minister van landbou, wat Donderdagaand (18 April) as gasspreker by die Malmesbury-sakekamer se jaarvergadering aan die woord was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer het grootliks \u2019n breedvoerige oorsig oor die provinsiale regering se werksaamhede en toegewydheid tot die bevordering van landbou gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het vertel toe hy in 2019 as die Wes-Kaapse minister van landbou aangestel is, was daar \u2019n \u201chatigheid\u201d en \u201cnydigheid\u201d teenoor boere. \u201cAlles wat verkeerd is, was die boere se fout. Ek het besluit dat ek nie in s\u00f3 omgewing gaan werk nie; ek gaan die omgewing verander. Ek het toe die hutsmerk #fortheloveofagriculture geskep, en dit is nou \u2019n globale hutsmerk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is vir my die belangrikste \u2013 om lief te wees vir boere, lief te wees vir mense en lief te wees vir landbou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn hierdie ruimte m\u00f3\u00e9t jy lief wees daarvoor, want 40% van alle mense wat in die Weskus werk, werk in die landbousektor. Dus, as jy boere haat, haat jy 40% van die mense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer s\u00ea die doel agter die hutsmerk was dus om \u2019n positiewe kultuur oor te dra. Hy het daarom ook besluit hy wil meer landbouskole asook meer landbou-vakke in bestaande skole bevorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaarom is ek bly hier in Malmesbury word nou weer meer landbouvakke aangebied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met verwysing na \u2019n landbouskool wat boere in die Bonnievale-omgewing langs \u2019n informele woonbuurt gebou het, het Meyer ges\u00ea dit was merkwaardig om die resultate te sien. \u201cLandbou verander gedrag.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Meyer het nie net die dissipline verander nie, maar leerders se punte het verbeter en hulle het ook minder antisosiale gedrag getoon, wat ook daartoe gelei het dat kinders minder betrokke was by misdaad in die gebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tienerswangerskappe het ook afgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het trots bygevoeg dat landbouvakskole van 31 in 2019 tot 55 in 2024 toegeneem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOral sien jy \u2019n gedragsverandering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer glo landbou is \u2019n wetenskap en wetenskap het navorsing nodig. Dus is dit sy nommer-een-prioriteit. Ander fokusareas sluit in landelike veiligheid en klimaatsverandering, ondersteuning vir boere en marktoegang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer s\u00ea ten spyte van die nasionale regering se ontkenning dat plaasmoorde \u2019n werklikheid is, het hulle \u2019n studie gedoen oor plaasaanvalle en plaasmoorde wat onder meer die tendense en modus operandi <\/i>insluit, en \u2019n veiligheidsplan daarvolgens opgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die navorsing het getoon dat die meeste aanvalle in die Kaapse Wynland \u2013 die grootste sagtevrugtebedryf suid van die ewenaar \u2013 plaasvind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Aanval op \u2019n boer is \u2019n aanval op die ekonomie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns vra julle sektor \u2013 skep werk, maar dan word mense hier vermoor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer het toe by die premier gaan aanklop en ges\u00ea hy wil \u2019n interministeri\u00eble komitee oor landelike veiligheid op die been bring, met hom (Meyer) as voorsitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daarby is ook \u2019n interministeri\u00eble tegniese komitee aangestel wat hulle op tegnologie toespits \u2013 rekenaars, inligtingstelsels, satelliete en gevorderde nommerplaatherkenningstegnologie, wat plaaswagte oor die provinsie in verskillende dorpe met mekaar verbind om misdadigers vinniger vas te trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie ou wat my die meeste gehelp het, woon in julle dorp \u2013 Uys van der Westhuizen. Hy dien op my komitee,\u201d het Meyer trots ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Ander kwessie wat Meyer na aan die hart l\u00ea, is klimaatsverandering. Hy het verteenwoordigers van die plaaslike munisipaliteit en sakekamer aangemoedig om dit as \u2019n permanente item op hul vergaderings aan te bring, soos die geval is op die sakelys van die Wes-Kaapse regering se kabinetsvergadering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer het vlugtig verwys na ses plaaswerkers wat op plase in Kakemas dood is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns kan nie net praat oor klimaatsverandering nie. Mense sterf. As julle op TikTok is, kyk na wat gebeur nou in Doebai. Hier het ons verlede jaar vier keer erge oorstromings gehad. Dit is nie net klimaatsverandering nie; dit is uiterste weerpatrone wat ons ervaar. Die Wes-Kaap is \u2019n Mediterreense streek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer s\u00ea hulle het dus gaan kyk waar nog Mediterreense streke is omdat dit spesifieke eienskappe van klimaatsverandering \u2013 erge weerspatrone, oorstromings en brande \u2013 inhou. \u201cKaliforni\u00eb in Amerika is \u2019n Mediterreense streek. Ons het \u2019n ooreenkoms onderteken tussen Kaliforni\u00eb en die Wes-Kaap oor hoe ons klimaatsverandering gaan hanteer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Calfire-metodologie, Kaliforni\u00eb se vuurmetodologie, word ook reeds in die Kaap toegepas in die bestryding van brande, het Meyer ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn die Europese unie is dinge aan die verander, en ook in Amerika. Daardie veranderinge sluit in dat jy nie meer produkte sal kan uitvoer as jy nie aan sekere klimaatsvereistes en standaarde voldoen nie. Die eerste skoot is afgevuur; ons doen nog nie baie vir klimaatsverandering nie, maar ons is besig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ander hoogtepunte in sy termyn sluit in dat hy die Wes-Kaap landbou-uitvoer van 45% na 55% laat groei het en ook \u2019n droogtesatelietbeheerstelsel die lig laat sien het om watergebruik in droogtegeteisterde gebiede beter te reguleer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer het ook klem gel\u00ea op die belangrike rol wat funksionele munisipaliteite in die bevordering van landbou vervul en die Swartland-munisipaliteit uitgesonder as \u2019n munisipaliteit wat hierin slaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het afgesluit deur te s\u00ea hy glo almal het \u2019n morele plig om landbouers te help, want landbou is \u2019n werkwoord. \u201cOns moet hierdie land bou, want hierdie land is stukkend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaarom het \u2019n mens hoop nodig, maar hoop met aksie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEn hierdie aksie is my verbintenis om berge te versit vir my land en om berge te versit vir die provinsie, maar die belangrikste is om berge te versit vir landbouers omdat landbouers berge versit vir ons voedselsekuriteit.\u201d.<\/span> Die Sakekamer het ook Donderdagaand sy nuwe komitee verkies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kobus Rossouw, wat as ondervoorsitter gedien het, is as die nuwe voorsitter verkies, terwyl die voormalige voorsitter, Brian Siebrits, nou as ondervoorsitter sal dien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip Barnard is die tesourier en Marietjie Theron die sekretaresse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
