    Thank you Deputy Chair. I move without notice on behalf of the FF Plus:

    That the Council-

    1) notes that of the 3 551 dairy producers that provided milk to South Africans in January 2009, the latest statistics indicate that in August 2019 only 1 228 producers remained;

    2) also notes that more than 30 000 jobs have been lost in the agricultural sector since January 2018 as a result of the persistent drought;

    3) acknowledges that, according to the Business Maverick, in South Africa, 37,44% of rural communities are affected by the drought and with an 80% loss of the total game numbers in the past six years, the wildlife sector has felt major hits within the subsectors of hunting and tourism;

    Afrikaans:

    4) kennis neem dat die droogte in talle provinsies maak dit by die dag moeiliker om te boer;

    5) ook kennis neem dat ons boere sukkel om te oorleef en het dringend uitkoms nodig;

    6) verder kennis neem dat, volgens die Minister, is daar nie fondse beskikbaar hiervoor nie en moet die boere versekering uitneem;

    7) erken dat ons as 'n land wel iets kan doen. Ons kan bid en ons boere in ons gebede opdra, en as 'n Parlement kan ons praktiese oplossings vind om voedsel en werk-sekerheid te verseker deur toe te sien dat die nodige hulpbronne aan die boere beskikbaar gestel word; en

    English:

    8) further notes, I hereby move that at the next normal Council sitting of the NCOP, the House opens debate on finding solutions to assist all farming communities and their workers in order to avoid an approaching disaster which will not only have a severe impact on the farmers and their workers, but on every South African.

    We will take that straight as a notice of motion because in terms of the content it sounds like a notice of motion. So, let us put it in the next Order Paper.
