FRANCOIS STRYDOM
Senwes CEO
His message regarding the violence in
South Africa.
“ ALL problems in South Africa
does not start with the letter Z,
but it is damn close. Here it goes
about leadership, a void in lead-
ership. What we are seeing now is
violence in all its forms - violence
against women and children,
violence in townships, violence
aimed at farming communities,
violence against town and city
dwellers, violence on trains, in
people's own homes, the aggres-
sive behaviour of people on our
roads. All of it emanates from the
vacuum in which we are living. ”
JAPIE GROBLER
Chairman of Agri Securitas
After donations from various organi­
sations, including Senwes, which
amounted to in excess of R2,2 million.
“ I feel small and humble. I have
no other words. My family and
I have also survived and expe-
rienced farm attacks over the
past few months. It is easy to say
thank you, as Chairman of Agri
Securitas. It is quite different
when you really know what it
is all about. I would like to say
thank you on behalf of every
farmer in the country. Not on
behalf of white or black people,
but on behalf of all farmers in
South Africa, because that is
where we apply the money. ”
JOHAN VAN HUYSSTEEN
2017 Free State Young Farmer
of the Year
His message to producers during the
Senwes Future Focus Day at Nampo
Park.
“ CONTINUE with what you
are doing and do it to the best of
your ability. Never stop hoping.
I always say that faith is trust in
what you are hoping for. If you
lose hope, you will lose your faith.
So, you must remain hopeful,
and positive, even if it is difficult.
Do what you are doing, and do
it well. ”
DAN KRIEK
“ ALL these factors could result in
food shortages and instability over
the longer term. I am very aware
of the emotional tension of farm-
ing communities and Agri SA and
its provincial organisations will
continue to search for solutions to
stop the violent onslaught on our
farming communities. ”
BOBBY VAN JAARSVELD
Afrikaans singer
“ I will wear black tomorrow (30
October 2017). For every farmer
on every farm. For my father and
mother, family and friends who
live and work on farms. For every
murdered person in South Africa
who paid with their blood. For
justice. For love. For peace. ”
