𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥 neem 'n kort publikasiepouse

Beste lesers en ondersteuners van 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥,
Ons wil julle graag inlig dat 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥 tans deur ’n kort herorganisasiefase gaan, aangesien nuwe eienaars die koerant oorneem. Hierdie oorgang bied hulle 'n waardevolle geleentheid om die koerant se strukture te verfyn en toekomstige groei moontlik te maak.
As gevolg hiervan sal publikasie vir ongeveer een week onderbreek wees. Ons wil egter almal verseker dat 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥 nié sluit nie, maar inteendeel besig is om voor te berei vir ’n opwindende nuwe hoofstuk.
Nuwe kontakbesonderhede sal binnekort beskikbaar gestel word. Bou saam op die werk wat oor die afgelope twee jaar gedoen is.
Ons bedank elke leser, ondersteuner en bydraer opreg vir julle volgehoue ondersteuning – sonder julle sou dit nie moontlik wees nie.

Vriendelike groete
Die 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥-span

Bek-en-klouseer bring vleisreus tot stilstand – VF Plus spreek kommer uit

Een van die grootste voerkraalgroepe in Suid-Afrika, Karan Beef, het sy voorsieners laat weet dat ’n tydelike moratorium op aankope ingestel word, ná die uitbreking van bek-en-klouseer by ’n voerkraal. Die kennisgewing is op Maandag, 2 Junie 2025, uitgereik.
Volgens dr. Wynand Boshoff, Vryheidsfront Plus-LP, skep hierdie verwikkeling ’n krisis vir die hele rooivleisbedryf in Suid-Afrika, selfs vir die hele suidelike Afrika.
“Groot voerkraalondernemings koop speenkalwers van regoor die land aan en maak hulle dan markgereed. Die gebruik van gesofistikeerde tegnologie maak naspeurbaarheid van vee moontlik. Dit beteken egter ook dat aansteeklike veesiektes uit verskeie streke by ’n klein aantal aanlegte kan saamkom – wat die impak van só ’n uitbreking vererger,” sê Boshoff.
Hoewel die soort bek-en-klouseer wat in Suider-Afrika voorkom nie dodelik is nie, is dit in die noordelike halfrond uiters gevaarlik en kan dit die rooivleisbedryf daar vernietigend beïnvloed. Daarom tree lande streng op om te keer dat die siekte hul grense oorsteek.
Die VF Plus wys daarop dat China reeds verlede maand sy grense vir Suid-Afrikaanse beesvleis gesluit het. “Ons het toe reeds gewaarsku dat ’n krisis in KwaZulu-Natal en die Oos-Kaap tot ’n nasionale krisis sou ontaard.”
Met hierdie mees onlangse ontwikkeling verdiep die krisis nou aansienlik, sê Boshoff. “As ’n groot aankoper soos Karan Beef ophou om vee aan te koop, ontwrig dit die hele bedryf. Dit sal vleispryse onder druk plaas en boere dwing om hul vee aan te hou, selfs wanneer weiding in die wintermaande beperk is.”
Die situasie is veral kritiek vir bestaansboere, wat dikwels net vee verkoop wanneer hulle kontant benodig.
Boshoff wys daarop dat Suid-Afrika vroeër bek-en-klouseervry was, danksy:
• Doeltreffende entstowwe vanaf Onderstepoort,
• Aktiewe staatsveeartsenydienste,
• Grensbeheer teen siekteoordrag vanaf buurlande en wild (bv. buffels).
Ongelukkig het hierdie funksies oor die afgelope dekade begin verval, en daar was reeds meer as 300 gevalle van bek-en-klouseer in vyf jaar.
“Rolspelers in die bedryf beskik oor die kennis en tegnologie om hierdie siekte te beheer. Hulle sê egter hul voorstelle oor vee-naspeurbaarheid en strategiese inenting word deur die departement van landbou geïgnoreer,” sê Boshoff.
Hy sluit af:
“Die volgende twee tot drie weke is bepalend vir die toekoms van die rooivleisbedryf. Die departement van landbou moet hierdie krisis met dringendheid aanspreek en ander relevante departemente betrek.”

Exciting new blood recruited to bolster badgers’ performance

South-Western Districts Cricket has announced the professional squad for the 2025/26 season. Following a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, the Garden Route Badgers have appointed Letlotlo Sesele as their new head coach for the upcoming season.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, 3 May 2025.
The most significant changes to the squad are in the bowling department, with exciting new talent recruited to boost performance. The biggest loss is the departure of match-winning wrist-spinner Thomas Kaber, who has joined the Warriors, a Division One franchise. Additionally, Kelly Smuts and Keenan Vieira have retired from professional cricket.
To replace Kaber, the Badgers have contracted former SA U/19 and Warriors spin bowler Liam Alder. The team also raised eyebrows by securing the services of Beni Hansen, the 2024 SA Schools and SA U/19 captain and wicketkeeper-batsman, from Western Province.
Other new recruits in the bowling unit include Banele Cele (from the Dolphins), Mondli Khumalo (former SA U/19 player from the Tuskers), and Zack Momberg, who, like Alder, matriculated at King Edward VII School in Johannesburg and joins from the Lions.
In positive news, the Badgers have retained middle-order batsman George van Heerden, their top run-scorer across all formats last season. He is currently touring Bangladesh as captain of the SA Emerging team. Aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Luke Beaufort has also signed on for the upcoming season, while Pheko Moletsane, who had a standout 2024/25 season, has been retained.
Top-order batsmen Yaseen Valli, Ruan Terblanche, and Kyle Jacobs will be entering the second year of their two-year contracts with the Badgers.
Responding to the squad announcement, new head coach Letlotlo Sesele said:
“I am excited about the contracted squad. We aim to improve, give a strong account of ourselves, and perform consistently in every competition.”
SWD CEO Albertus Kennedy added: “We are confident in the squad we’ve assembled for the forthcoming season. We believe the key areas that needed strengthening have been addressed, and we are optimistic about achieving our objectives.”
SIX GUN GRILL SWD CONTRACTS FOR 2025/26:
Liam Alder, Luke Beaufort, Banele Cele, Benni Hansen, Kyle Jacobs, Mondli Khumalo, Pheko Moletsane, Zack Momberg, Ruan Terblanche, Yaseen Valli, George van Heerden
HIGH PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS:
Tyrece Karelse, Sintu Majiza, Liyabona Malife, Heath Richards
