Dr. Ivan Meyer, die minister van landbou in die Wes-Kaap, het die afgelope Woensdag (19 April) lede van Agri Malmesbury moed ingepraat en uitgebrei oor wat di\u00e9 plaaslike regering vir die boere in die provinsie beplan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die geleentheid het gedurende Agri Malmesbury se jaarvergadering plaasgevind waartydens John D\u00fcrr, \u2019n bekende in die plaaslike landboukringe, \u2019n spesiale toekenning ontvang het. D\u00fcrr het sy meer as 40 jaar se diens en betrokkenheid by die plaaslike landbouvereniging as \u2019n voorreg beskryf en ges\u00ea sy passie is steeds n\u00e1 soveel jaar by georganiseerde landbou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meyer was dit eens dat landbou-instellings soos landbouverenigings vir hom baie belangrik is, maar in die algemeen is dit nodig vir landbou se voortbestaan. \u201cDit is instellings soos di\u00e9 wat steeds maak dat die pap nie op die grond val nie. Dit is daarom belangrik dat ons hierdie instellings respekteer,\u201d het Meyer ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook ges\u00ea prioriteite is noodsaaklik vir sukses. \u201cSonder prioriteite dobber jy net op die see.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gestruktureerde opleiding en ontwikkeling, navorsing, ondersteuning aan boere, landelike veiligheid, marktoegang en klimaatsverandering is onder meer op sy sakelys as prioriteite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is volgens Meyer sy missie om meer landbouskole in die Wes-Kaap te sien. \u201cLandbou is \u2019n werkwoord. Die land moet weer herbou word en meer landbouskole gaan ons in staat stel om dit te doen.\u201d Meyer het gesien landbouskole bring dissipline en opvoeding onder kinders terug, en anti-sosiale optrede onder leerders in landbouskole het afgeneem. Volgens hom is hy al verstom deur leerders wat op \u2019n Saterdag eerder wil sweiswerk doen, het hy verbaas vertel. \u201cLandbou bou<\/i> ook \u2019n mens,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea. Volgens hom is landbou die enigste sektor in die land met die vermo\u00eb om die land te herbou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het verder ges\u00ea landbou is \u2019n wetenskap en wetenskap moet nagevors word. Daarom is Meyer verheug oor die altesaam sewe navorsingsplase in die Wes-kaap, waarvan die Langgewens-navorsingsplaas buite Malmesbury een is. Hy het ook Uys van der Westuijzen bedank vir wat hy in landelike veiligheid doen \u2013 nie net binne sy streek nie, maar vir die hele land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van der Westhuijzen is die voorsitter van Malmesbury Veiligheid asook die voorsitter van beide Agri Wes-Kaap se landelike veiligheidbeleidskomitee en Agri SA se sentrum vir uitnemendheid oor landelike veiligheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die minister kon verder nie genoeg vertel hoe trots hy op die boere in die Swartlandstreek is nie. \u201cDit is ongelooflik om te sien wat hier gebeur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meyer meen wanneer landbou in die nood is, moet die regering na vore kom en help, want die landbousektor help die land. \u201cDie burgers van die land moet begin besef dat \u2019n boer jou vriend is. As jy nie na \u2019n boeregemeenskap kyk nie, kom die regering tot \u2019n val.\u201d Daarom het Meyer met trots die #fortheloveofagriculture geskep sodat inwoners kan besef die land kan nie sonder landbou voortbestaan nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lede het n\u00e1 die minister se toespraak ges\u00ea hulle is opgewonde oor wat hier in die Wes-Kaap vir landbou aan die gebeur is. Volgens Richard Hewett, die nuutverkose voorsitter van Agri Malmesbury, moet boere ge\u00eberd voel om in die provinsie te kan boer. \u201cEk dink ons kan positief wees.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hentie Smit is saam met Hewett as ondervoorsitter verkies en Eben Schellenk, Michiel Smuts, Thys Basson, Janus le Roux en Truter de Kock as die vyf addisionele bestuurslede.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
