“The farmers that we met here are saying they are happy to stay in South Africa. All they need is for us to work with them to address challenges they face rural roads, rural safety, and crime has been rife. They want us to work with them to ensure access to markets, including international markets, and access to finance. Those are some of the things they are saying. So if you work with us on these issues, we have no problem. We are committed South Africans, we want to stay here, we are not going anywhere, and we encourage those who are leaving to please stay.”
