The government says support is coming to poultry farmers; the Development Bank wants private funding; SARS apologises for ‘threatening’ message; and the Gauteng government wants to go cashless.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile said the government will soon announce a support package for farmers impacted by the avian flu outbreak. This comes after the poultry industry called for the government to assist farmers who were losing millions to try to contain the outbreak. About 12% of the country’s chicken industry is under quarantine, and losses are estimated at R4.8 billion due to the outbreak of avian flu so far.
On Thursday, SARS apologised and said, “The SMS message sent out earlier this week, in relation to outstanding returns, fell short of the high professional standard we seek to uphold,” and added that it had suspended the SMS service. [Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi says the province wants to go cashless by April 2024 to put an end to the cash-in-transit heists causing havoc in the region.
