If you claim to care about the people, flora and fauna of South Africa, then best you read this and start doing something about it. What the preachers, politicians and poachers have not done to subjugate our population through economic, spiritual, social, agricultural and ecological oppression via corporate monopoly, the SAPS are finishing for them.
The S.A.P.S. Air Wing Unit, funded by the American Drug Enforcement Agency, a subsidiary of the U.S. Treasury Department, are once again using helicopters to spray hundreds of hectares of Cannabis, interspersed with maize and other subsistence crops in the Eastern Cape with carcinogenic herbicides, mainly Kilo Max and RoundUp. This has already been linked to a marked increase in the incidence of oesophageal cancer in these areas.

These Glyphosate based herbicides kill off a wide range of broad leafed plants and grasses, also affecting certain shrubs and many trees and thus entire eco-systems. GMO crops are not killed as they are modified to resist Glyphosates, but are poisoned at a cellular level as is now well known. Such massively invasive spraying will leave topsoil exposed often leading to massive soil erosion, runoff and eventually even devastating floods.
Many local subsistence farmers, who rely on both their vegetable and cannabis crops for food, medicine and income, are now left bereft and poisoned. Phumelele Lovisa says “Ganja is a currency, people send their kids to school with the money they make from growing and selling it.” Their only option remaining is to migrate to the already overcrowded slums in cities. Another kind of round up!
