I agree with you, that’s a beautiful part of the country just a pity it’s not accessible because most people from outside the area (myself included) don’t know the roads and can’t pick their lines like experienced four by four drivers. Also a lot of people don’t have the patience or time frankly to put that sort of effort into a commute to especially when they’re on holiday
@@darnellengelbrecht4400 Absolutely! Simply put, imagine the spike in tourism if we didn't constantly have to consider the condition of the roads. Areas like this are heavily dependent on peak season tourism. You might think they only lose out on two months, but those months are what sustain them financially for the entire year.
@@TheBoldAnalyst , the other thing is you wouldn’t want to have to take a recovery vehicle with you on a holiday trip. While my brother and I might do something like that so we could recover each other, it shouldn’t be a requirement to visit those areas
The fundamental tragedy of South Africa is that government officials can steal ALL taxpayer money (and do NO work) and the ANC will protect them, and the "geniuses" will keep on voting for this. This will keep on happening until every part of the economy collapses and suddenly the "geniuses" will starve to death. They are so intelligent that they are literally voting for their own destruction and the destruction of their children's children.
Jor....I hope the GNU can step up this time around...and that arrogant government official need to be disciplined....comfort zone with a free salary every month...
These farmers show the metal on which our country is built. Let’s hope the infrastructure is repaired so all involved can prosper-not an easy life-but a fulfilling one!
Not even close but we prosper when there is that guarantee. As I know that there have been a few who worked diligently day and night, only to be disappointed by corruption and fat overly lazy people who stand waiting for oppertunity. Ending up in dept and being terrorised day and night to force their own objectives of corrupt empowerment. Sorry for my brief sinisme 😬😁 No one is ready when things begin to go Divinely orgestrated positive. All I know is that when it happens you should be ready to show up, because when dreams come true as it does it is sometimes bigger than your skill levels,although still when that happens, you are ready already and you only need to show up. 🤔Oooh but then there is this road thing so I'll get back to you 🤦🏻🤷🏻

How can we have municipal officials like this? what terrible governance is that? surely, we can and must do better! Kudos to the brave farmers with hard work ethic and great attitudes.
Same ANC officials have been squandering money all of these years , living a lavish life and buying expensive cars in all those Regional municipal offices
I was once a waiter at a hotel where we hosted a function for the Prince Albert local municipality (ANC). The officials arrived one by one, simply gathered items from the buffet to take home, and left. One woman even phoned later to ask if she could come back to get more champagne.
I really needed this episode. Taught me alot. I wanted to quit my job. But i saw hardship and it made me want to strive on. Life is hard, wish I could win the lottery, like so many others
The farmers in France would have droped all the rotten produce and dead animals at a municipal building and blocked highways. Disappointed at how the government treats one of the country's most important industries. The Eastern Cape and Northern Cape need to be freed from ANC's grip.
It's so sad how the farmers suffer and no one looks into this. Some even have to fork out cash to fix public roads bcs if they don't, they can't get their produce to the market😢
It’s unfortunate because unlike other farmers in places like Three Sisters and Upington these farmers don’t have access to decent infrastructure to access global markets with their produce
@@darnellengelbrecht4400 Exactly! And food insecurity in SA is fast becoming a point of concern plus many farmers have suffered greatly during load shedding. it will take them a very long time to recover, that's if the ever recover 🥲
There are many people on this thread that need to understand that the government for the last 30 years have neglected many sectors of our nation. However, please don't jump to rascism because that makes no sense when the entire country depends on the produce and harvests that come from these farms. And lets not mention the huge illegal immigration problem we are dealing with as well. The honest truth, imo, is for the last 30 years we have been abandoned. The new GNU has breathed a new life of hope into many peoples hearts and minds. Lets pray that ministers John Steenhuisen and Dean Macpherson will step up and provide the support agriculturally and infrastructurally to ensure that these desperate farmers receive the support and backing to ensure that this disaster can be tended to for the sake of all South Africans. And yes, come next elections we will know who not to vote for.
Great Work Carte team with your daily effort one of the greatest area I wish can be investigated is about electricity units everytime you buy example on every R100 you get only 24 units it is like the whole R76 is just down the drain my biggest worry is this is getting worse everyday
There is clearly an electricity mafia of some sort. I bought electricity for R300 the other day and I only got 55 units, and the units run faster than a cheetah!
I use to watch and follow Carte Blanch..( Carta Blanca in Spanish my first language)....just to see this report have me crunch on my knees.....just so wrong in so many levels....this is exactly what the Dutch and English people was predicted for the future....totally destructions of the systems and the country ....I was hoping for better outcome...but I was wrong and they were right....nothing is up to standard...we have being dragged to the bottom...feeling for the Country...for the Land that was call South Africa 😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😱
I live on a farm in the klein karoo in the western cape. Our roads are regularly graded and fixed. I cannot complain about our roads. I also regularly travel to Kgalagadi via Sutherland,Middelpos and Calvinia. That is the worst road i have ever travelled on
So many expert farmers who have given their life to farming that we rely on going up in smoke because of thieves who enrich themselves with funds that is to be used to maintain infrastructure 😢
Bear in mind that this particular official who is employed by a government department is also a serving councillor! While 1000s within Calvinia where the unemployment rate is way over 70%,can only dream of a job, or a salary, this particular official is earning TWO salaries!
The farmers should send us that banking details so that we can all donate money to help them fix the roads they have to travel on. It will benefit us all.
@@itsmabuti That is true, the consequences of ANC government ineptitude does not discriminate, it affects all races, and all social levels. We can only hope and pray that people vote better next time, not for these collectivists whose first and only task is to order a new BMW X5 with blue lights so that they can feel important.
@@sherilaattoe6510it’s worse than that. There are provincial roads, so they need to be maintained my the Northern Cape Provincial government. National Government maintains the National (N) roads and gives money to the provinces to maintain their roads.
That government official @2:20, his behavior and what he says tells you he believes he is above the public, like in a dictatorship, do as I tell you to and don't ask questions.
Simple assignment to maintain the road regularly with a road scraper. Then update the community on progress .Even that seems a daunting and difficult task😂😂😂😂😂😂.These farmers had to do it themselves because that’s really how easy it is .But when we look Orania we get consumed into politics and racism peddling.
Yeah, but they dont mention, no murders and theft like the rest of the country, I think Im starting to have a lot more understanding for why we had apartheid, it wasn't simply racism, it was incompatible cultures, we are better off seperate
I’m not going to lie, I drove from Calvinia to Sutherland with my brother in August 2021 and the road was very bad even with a 4 by 4. We were just driving for recreation on the way to Springbok so weren’t pressed for time but the roads around there aren’t easy to drive if you want to make it to where you’re going to in less than a day
Instead of building businesses, employing people, surviving the daily hatred and paying tax, I think it's time the 7 million tax-payers joined the 20 million grant beneficiaries who voted for what we have.
We were in the eastern cape the past weekend. This is happening in PE, grahamstown, east London on a huge scale. The raids are probably the worst in our country. While the municipality is busy stealing millions of tax payers money and living large without consequences the citizens are suffering
Afrikaners are the bones and determination of South Africa. They have made life possible in some of the most inhospitable regions of the country. When they are gone, that land where they lived and made bloom, will be empty
@@NormEngel-ge2it Racist?? See the problem is the fact that people that think like you don't even know what racism is anymore... real racism gets swept under the carpet while ANC racism on minorities are embraced by the majority.

I have a theory, hear me out and have an open mind. These officials are now flocking to theorise the agricultural industry since they have seen an incline of farmers emerging. With that being said, delaying the rehabilitation of roads and infrastructure of existing farms favours them(their families and friends) who are becoming farmers. Essentially they are cutting out competition who are the effected farmers.
As has recent history shows, nobody can just become a farmer, it is a calling from a young age. Zimbabwe is a prime example of this. There are no other emerging farmers who have a hope because they are on the wrong type of land.
How does it make sense to cut out your competition when your destroying the infrastructure you need to be competitive? If your selling in a competitive market you need more than roads. For one thing you need a better attitude towards life than the municipal managers who don't do their job - for which they are being paid.
The road between Sutherland and Calvinia was paved for 30 km, starting in Sutherland. The contractor left the site because of none payment and apparently the money all dried up. The road between Sutherland and Fraserburg is only paved up to the astronomy telescopes, but even that tar road is falling apart and not being maintained(rest of the road is gravel). The Medical clinic in Sutherland is a death trap and patients need to be transported from Sutherland to Calvinia, the Calvinia Medical clinic is still functional. Sutherland doesnt have a ambulance, so the ambulance must be sent from Calvinia to Sutherland to collect patients, the ambulance used to drive with 2 to 4 extra spare tires when collecting patients. But now as seen in this story, the ambulances do not drive to Sutherland anymore.(I wonder how many patients have passed away on this journey, as this journey was only made for the very very sick patients) According to legend Fraserburg received a new ambulance, but no one has seen it....
Get rid of the corrupt ANC in the province!!! The province has so much potential Agriculture is one of them if administered properly the people could live prosperous. GET RID OF THE ANC!!
Sadly this is a result of 30years of ANC rule, state capture, cronyism and state neglect for infrastructure in general . I hope the new GNU will put South Africans to work (create jobs) by repairing the nations infrastructure (roads, bridges , dams, hospitals, schools ) and help put our nation on a strong footing again, South Africans deserve better.
These farmers are paying monthly to privately scrape the roads???? The government must give them a tax refund for that. Someone send this to Steenhuisen. He's not a magician but he does care.
Sadly, that's not the only road in a sorry state in this country. The general state of infrastructure is in decline in South Africa, thanks to 30 years of the ANC government's neglect. We're yet to see if this GNU will do better or whether it too is "selling lemons" to South Africans, so to state.
Just how did anyone in SA in the early 90`s that voted yes in the referendum think that SA would not go the same way as every other African country that was handed over to a revolutionary movement before it...? The mind boggles...
This is what happens when we have officials who want to draw a salary and do nothing for it. It is shocking how this country rewards mediocrity and even more shocking that voters keep voting as they have for 30 years but yet expect a different outcome.
Did the Namakwa land last year up to Port Nolloth and roads wasn't to bad on main roads, but loads of road works last year. The dirt roads are another story. Farmers try to keep the dirt roads graded with their own plows ect. There isnt any assistance if your car brakes down in-between towns.
While conducting this type of investigation. Visit KH Hospital in Kimberley while the topic of hospital cases is still current. It is a shame, and there is a lot to report. Same as the Helen Joseph Hospital,
These lazy incompetents in charge, need to be replaced by honest, hardworking people, who care for the country and the upliftment of the community. They are too dumb to see their future wellbeing and food on the table us also at stake!
We are in a slighlly more northern area of the N.Cape and the roads get progressively worse. Nothing is being done ! When it rains we get cut off from down and it's just due to lack of road maintenance.
It’s heartbreaking to see this kind of deliberate catastrophes and tax payer’s money is not used to solve them..where is the money allocated for roads going? Why aren’t contractors paid? Why is it so easy for the road authority to abandon their responsibility like that and it should be up to the road user to make a plan?
Really! Very sad 😢 that is why you have to write exams when you leave school to determine if you are qualified to do any job you get appointed in! No tablets for arrogance and stupidity! 😮
There is a new Minister of Agriculture in Town (Steenhuisen). Can the community try reaching out!? Cause we definitely need everything Agriculture running.
As much as l feel for the farmers, in my humble opinion do speak to the workers of these farms as well.. There’s more to it.. Haters don’t get me wrong.. The farmers should be assisted however l have a sibling that hails from Zimbabwe that work on these farms.. Transparency is needed..

But now as seen in this story, the ambulances do not drive to Sutherland anymore.(I wonder how many patients have passed away on this journey, as this journey was only made for the very very sick patients) According to legend Fraserburg received a new ambulance, but no one has seen it....
Love your interviewer - hope to get a lot more from him.
Shocking Government Officials
I can only guess the ANC run that province???
Get rid of the corrupt ANC in the province!!! The province has so much potential Agriculture is one of them if administered properly the people could live prosperous. GET RID OF THE ANC!!
Sadly this is a result of 30years of ANC rule, state capture, cronyism and state neglect for infrastructure in general . I hope the new GNU will put South Africans to work (create jobs) by repairing the nations infrastructure (roads, bridges , dams, hospitals, schools ) and help put our nation on a strong footing again, South Africans deserve better.
These farmers are paying monthly to privately scrape the roads???? The government must give them a tax refund for that. Someone send this to Steenhuisen. He's not a magician but he does care.
If these farmers don't get the support they need, then we as the common citizen will suffer higher prices 🤷♂️. Hence, this should go viral
Sadly, that's not the only road in a sorry state in this country. The general state of infrastructure is in decline in South Africa, thanks to 30 years of the ANC government's neglect. We're yet to see if this GNU will do better or whether it too is "selling lemons" to South Africans, so to state.
Just how did anyone in SA in the early 90`s that voted yes in the referendum think that SA would not go the same way as every other African country that was handed over to a revolutionary movement before it...?
The mind boggles...
Theyre mostly living overseas or deceased
This is what happens when we have officials who want to draw a salary and do nothing for it. It is shocking how this country rewards mediocrity and even more shocking that voters keep voting as they have for 30 years but yet expect a different outcome.
Did the Namakwa land last year up to Port Nolloth and roads wasn't to bad on main roads, but loads of road works last year. The dirt roads are another story. Farmers try to keep the dirt roads graded with their own plows ect. There isnt any assistance if your car brakes down in-between towns.
Deel hierdie video dat dit orals bekend is. Mense dit is ons mense, ons land.
I drove from tankwa to calvinia, it was a long and treacherous journey, the max i could drive was 20 and even that was bad.
While conducting this type of investigation. Visit KH Hospital in Kimberley while the topic of hospital cases is still current. It is a shame, and there is a lot to report. Same as the Helen Joseph Hospital,
These lazy incompetents in charge, need to be replaced by honest, hardworking people, who care for the country and the upliftment of the community. They are too dumb to see their future wellbeing and food on the table us also at stake!
What a shocking state of affairs! 😮
Infuriating 😢
We are in a slighlly more northern area of the N.Cape and the roads get progressively worse. Nothing is being done ! When it rains we get cut off from down and it's just due to lack of road maintenance.
The whole country is falling apart... Roads, water, elec,
It’s heartbreaking to see this kind of deliberate catastrophes and tax payer’s money is not used to solve them..where is the money allocated for roads going? Why aren’t contractors paid? Why is it so easy for the road authority to abandon their responsibility like that and it should be up to the road user to make a plan?
And we apply to these municipalities with the mission on heart to improve services then such people are employed. 🙌🏾
Really! Very sad 😢 that is why you have to write exams when you leave school to determine if you are qualified to do any job you get appointed in! No tablets for arrogance and stupidity! 😮
There is a new Minister of Agriculture in Town (Steenhuisen). Can the community try reaching out!? Cause we definitely need everything Agriculture running.
Haha I thought that short official was Asian for a second... "what is your name?!"
Dis n skande dat sulke amptenare nog n werk het hul moet afbetaal word.
As much as l feel for the farmers, in my humble opinion do speak to the workers of these farms as well.. There’s more to it.. Haters don’t get me wrong.. The farmers should be assisted however l have a sibling that hails from Zimbabwe that work on these farms.. Transparency is needed..
1:04 💥🤣 Mac lightening up the situation, Sho Malume!
Next umfolozi river with Graves on the banks of it .if I'm not mistaken mfolozi
Bless your heart Macfarlane!! ❤
Also a method to claim back the land : to make it useless.
This is like road we're using to going home Kgautswane around Burgersfort
Municipal that doesn’t do their jobs must not get paid end of the month.
The new minister if agriculture should support these farmers.
