Agri SA says President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call for greater co-operation between government and Agriculture stake-holders, is a step in the right direction.

Ramaphosa yesterday, in his weekly news-letter, announced several strategic action-steps, meant to address and curb the occurrence of farm murders and attacks.

Agri-SA, executive director, Christo van der Rheede, says there is a need for greater trust between the police and farming communities.
