Today, we supported the 5th edition of Lamb Champs at Harlequins Rugby Club, where more than 110 of South Africa’s finest sheep farmers gathered for what has become the biggest lamb tasting competition in the Southern Hemisphere. This is an extraordinary achievement, and one that is deeply special for the City of Tshwane. Lamb Champs began here, and we are proud to see it grow into a premier agricultural event that celebrates our farmers, our food industry and the excellence of South African agriculture. 🐑🇿🇦 @CityTshwane @theodjager

We had a wonderful time at Lamb Champs 2026. We met visitors, farmers and industry leaders who came together to celebrate the very best of South African agriculture. The event showcased the passion, skill and dedication that make our agriculture sector so special. This festival, like many others, positions Tshwane as an ideal tourism destination 🇿🇦. @CityTshwane

Farming on the land of correctional facilities saves the state millions on the food budget, but it also creates training opportunities and equips inmates for jobs and livelihoods afterwards. @Saai_org works with Department of Correctional Services to link up with the industry to upgrade production capacity, training and farm management practices. Minister @GroenewaldPJ is very efficient in making decisions, communicating expectations, and monitoring implementation

Link in bio 🔗 90% of commercial beef farmers in KZN reportedly couldn’t access state vaccines — and some herds are already being reinfected. Francois Rossouw calls it “a shocking statistic.” #BizNews #KZN #BeefFarming #Agriculture

“A policy or practice is not law.” The court confirmed that the state failed to show where a lawful prohibition on private FMD vaccination existed. The Minister must stop misrepresenting the judgment. Read more on our website, saai.org/press-releases/mini…

Die hof het beslis: die staat het boere in die steek gelaat in die stryd teen BKS. Hierdie uitspraak is ’n oorwinning vir elke vee- en wildboer wat moes ly onder gesloer, magsmisbruik en onbevoegdheid. Nou begin die werklike oorlog teen BKS. #BekEnKlouseer #BKS #Saai #Familieboere #VeeBoere #Landbou #SouthAfricanAgriculture #Boere #FMD

@jsteenhuisen came to court trying to silence accusations of dishonesty. When the case was argued, he suddenly dropped it. Today the Court dismantled the entire fiction. The Court found government could not show any lawful prohibition on private vaccination. It found the Section 10 scheme was no substantive defence. It found government engineered delays while FMD spread across the country. This from the same Minister who: -fearmongered about “bioterrorism” with dead vaccine - bragged about 2 million vaccinations over a drawn-out period while outbreaks exploded -lied on national television about substantively answering our legal demand South African farmers are living with the consequences of an arrogant minister who spoke with authority long before he understood the law, the science or the crisis. It is time to for accountability from John and his enablers.

F&M case: The applicants dismiss the notions that they ask for a "free for all" or want to stall the vaccination process, as the minister claims. They table evidence for that.

F&M case: "Like with the Zuma-case where the court ordered against the positioning of the Guptas in certain transactions through political intervention, the applicants ask the court that interference by the state or @jsteenhuisen in private agency agreements such as the one between Biogenisis Bago Argentina) and Design Biologix (SA) should be inderdicted"
