Farmers relieved as Gigaba extends lifeline to water, agriculture
FINANCE Minister Malusi Gigaba has given South Africa’s drought-stricken agriculture sector a lifeline thanks to billions of rand that will be injected into water infrastructure, drought relief, support for emerging black farmers as well as land reform and rural development.
In his 2018 Budget Speech delivered in Parliament on Wednesday, Gigaba pledged to continue to work with local government and municipalities to respond to the severe drought that has strained water supplies to the almost 4 million citizens of Cape Town as well as numerous smaller towns and cities across the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape.
