Longacres en \u2019n liefde vir landbou gaan hand aan hand, soos dr. Ivan Meyer, Wes-Kaapse LUR vir landbou, self gesien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meyer en lede van die Vroue-Landbouvereniging Kaapland (VLVK), Sirkel Weskus en die Langebaantak, het twee Langebaanse skole verlede week besoek. Twee Essenhoutbome, onderskeidelik by Longacres Privaatskool en die vroe\u00ebkinderontwikkeling\u00adsentrum Seeskulpie, is met die hulp van die minister geplant. Die bome is deur die VLVK en die Elim-gemeente, Langebaan geskenk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petrie Oettle, die stigter van die twee skole, het sedert kindsbeen \u2019n liefde vir landbou, wat nou deel vorm van beide skole. By die geleentheid het besoekers ook kans gekry om Seeskulpie se groentetuin te besigtig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die burgemeester van die Weskus-distriksmunisipaliteit, Boffie Strydom, en die onderburgemeester van Saldanhabaai, Charmain Loubser, was ook byderhand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die Longacres-skoolhoof Edmund Barkhuysen is dit wonderlik om deel van die VLVK se inisiatief te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie plant van di\u00e9 boom sal vir geslagte onthou word. Die boom sal beskou word as \u2019n simbool van respek vir almal betrokke,\u201d het die hoofleier, Liam Koopman, die betrokkenes bedank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bronwyn Jordaan, mede-hoofleier, meen die boomplantdag was \u2019n blye dag vir die gemeenskap sowel as die skool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meyer het die leerders aangemoedig om in die diverse landbousektor te spesialiseer. \u201cIndien twee mense verby \u2019n lekkende waterpyp stap, sal ek vinnig vir jou kan s\u00ea watter een is in die landbousektor. Dit is die een wat vinnig aan \u2019n plan kan dink om dit reg te maak; die een wat weet Suid-Afrika is die 51ste droogste land ter w\u00eareld, en wat die belangrikheid van daardie vermorste water verstaan,\u201d het Meyer verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy meen dit is juis diegene in die landbousektor wat die land sal opbou en \u2019n krisis soos di\u00e9 van voortslepende beurtkrag sal help oorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die minister is daar 17 000 boere in die provinsie en hoewel die plaaslike kommersi\u00eble sektor slegs 10% van Suid-Afrika se landbou verteenwoordig, dra hulle sowat 20% tot die land se kommersi\u00eble boerdery by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estelle du Plessis, die VLV Kaapland president en organiseerder van die geleentheid, het verduidelik die plant bome is belangrik vir die organisasie. VLV Kaapland het \u2018n projek genaamd \u201cBome vir ons kinders\u201d. Meyer was in 2020 die VLV Kaapland se Dankie Persoon en met die kontant wat die VLV Kaapland aan hom oorhandig het, het hy aangevoer die organisasie gebruik dit vir \u201cBome vir ons kinders\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die minister het die organisasie uitgedaag om \u2018n duisend bome te plant. Meyer het reeds 100 bome aan Sirkel Weskus geskenk en di\u00e9 vroue het reeds die bome in verskeie dorpe geplant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
