Farmers, taxi owners and the business community blocked all access roads to Ficksburg in the Free State with their tractors on Wednesday.
They are protesting against the bad condition of roads surrounding their town.
Local farmer and member of the Ficksburg Agricultural Association, Friedl von Maltitz, says the condition of the road has led to people losing their lives.
In a memorandum sent to Premier Sisi Ntombela, the community says Ficksburg has a large farming community and the condition of the roads is going to make it impossible for farmers to transport their products out of town.
Ficksburg community forum, Sechaba sa Ficksburg, have closed all routes through Ficksburg since 06:00 AM on Wednesday, March 17th 2021. They will maintain the closure until they receive a satisfactory response from government to their letter, directed to the Premier of the Free State, Ms Sisi Ntombela. The letter, delivered on March 2nd, demanded an urgent meeting on the provision of services and maintenance of infrastructure, in order to avert further action.
The forum represents various local bodies, including FITA (Ficksburg Taxi Association), AFASA (African Farmers’ Association of South Africa), agricultural business OVK, Setsoto Youth Development, Ficksburg Commonage Tenants, and the Ficksburg Agricultural Association.
