Agriculture advocacy organisation Agri SA has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to urgently deploy the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to support the South African Police Service in protecting trucks on major transportation routes in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. AgriSA said on July 12 that it was “deeply concerned” about the violent criminal attacks on trucks in those provinces that have taken place over the past few days, calling them a direct assault on the South African economy and a significant risk to food security.
