Farmers and land users in the Northern Cape are urged to be on high alert for veld fires.
This follows reports of small-holding farmers in the Frances Baard District who lost some of their livestock and grazing land due to veld fires. MEC for Agriculture, Environmental Affairs and Rural Development, Mase Manopole, says the province usually experiences magnitude veld fires during this time of the year.
She says they would like to avoid this, as it often leads to loss of livestock, grazing land and sometimes human life. Manopole in a statement further indicates that there are requirements set out by the Veld and Forest Fire Act, which farmers and land users need to adhere to.
