Western Cape farmers to reduce reliance on Eskom

Power cuts have led to billions of rand in losses for the agricultural sector and it’s having dire consequences on food security, job security and economic growth. The Western Cape Government has organised an energy summit to specifically discuss and seek solutions for the industry. Farmers say their businesses are suffering under the strain with some forced to lay off staff or put them on reduced working hours. Ayesha Ismail reports. Courtesy #DStv403
