The Black Farmers’ Association of South Africa (BFASA) claims that the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) is favouring white citizens and foreign-owned companies while excluding black, indigenous, people when issuing licenses to grow cannabis. SAHPRA denied the allegations, saying that it treats all applicants equally and does not practise prejudice. BFASA also claimed Health Minister Dr Zweli Mkhize was the person granting licenses to white owned companies, which the health regulator also denied. SAHPRA REFUTES BFASA ALLEGATIONS SAHPRA issued a statement that denied all allegations made by BFASA and explained that the current legislature does not allow it to issue cannabis licenses for non-medicinal commercial purposes, including for use in food.
