Kenners beweer: Meer mielies vir 2021 as in 2020 VRYSTAAT: Volgens Proagri en ‘n spesialiteits skrywer word die grootte van die verwagte kommersiële mielieoes op 16,096 milj. ton gestel, wat 1,09% of 173 800-ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 15,922 milj. ton. Die skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies is 2,755 milj. ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 5,84 t/ha is. Die geskatte mielie-oes is 5% groter as die 2020-oes. Die drie belangrikste mielieproduserende gebiede, nl. die Vrystaat, Mpumalanga en Noordwes provinsies, gaan na verwagting 84% van die 2021-oes produseer. Die oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,692 milj. ha en vir geelmielies is die oppervlak 1,063 milj. ha.

Die

produksieskatting van witmielies is 8,934 milj. ton, 1,57% of 137 800-ton meer as die 8,796 milj. ton van die vorige skatting. Die opbrengs van witmielies is 5,28 t/ha. In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting 7,162 milj. ton, wat 0,51% of 36 000-ton meer is as die 7,126 milj. ton van die vorige skatting. Die opbrengs van geelmielies is 6,73 t/ha. Die opbrengs-bepaling per ha vir die Mpumalanga provinsie is gebaseer op wetenskaplike en objektiewe resultate verstrek deur die LNR. Neem kennis dat die objektiewe resultate vir die Vrystaat en Noordwes provinsies, in Mei 2021, meer akkusraat gerapporteer sal word.

Rise in coronavirus cases among learners amid the current school holidays FREE STATE: The Free State Department of Health has raised concerns over a possible rise in coronavirus cases among learners amid the current school holidays. This as the province recorded an increase in cluster outbreaks due to social gatherings linked to the Easter holidays. Free State Health HOD David Motau says hospitals have also seen an increase in the number of admissions.

Motau says, “We’re experiencing an increase in two districts, being Mangaung and Thabo Mofutsanyana. The other districts are not at that level yet but there’s a significant increase. If you look at the four weeks: There’s been a consistent increase in average in our cases and that is worrisome.” “We’ve also experienced several increases in our admissions and that is also worrisome. We’re concerned that this may overwhelm the health system in the province. If you look at it,

we’re now experiencing in particular the two districts. I’ve referred to the school clusters as to what we’re seeing but we also see the cluster at the workplace environment,” added Motau. The Free State Health Department has activated all its resources to tackle the latest upsurge in coronavirus infections. As the province’s infections peak in the midst of a third wave, health officials have attributed the increase in infection clusters at schools to social gatherings linked to the Easter holidays. The province recorded 222 new infections by Friday 30 April 2021. The National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) noted an upsurge in COVID-19 cases in the Free State, Northern Cape, and North West. In the free State streets, most people seem ignorant of the pandemic, the wearing of masks is rare, and social distancing is practically nonexistent. Residents have mixed reactions

to the existence of the pandemic. The Free State Health Department says work is underway to increase screening, testing, and contact tracing. MEC Montseng Tsiu says they are concerned about an increase in new infections. Tsiu says, “The numbers grew especially after Easter holidays where we can say some people came from home being infected and they came to school and they infected other students and even the teachers with the family are what we can say, some people had family gatherings but unfortunately they are not adhering to non-pharmaceutical protocols they don’t wear masks they don’t observe the social distancing and that is why we are seeing the numbers going up in the Free State. Overall, the Free State has recorded over 86 000 coronavirus cases, with a 93 percent recovery rate. The province has recorded 3 800 deaths so far. (SABC – News)

HARRISMITH: Die groot dag het uiteindelik aangebreek op Vrydag 30 April vir VKB. Die lint is geknip en die deure is ge-open van die nuwe Harrismith-handelstak. Die “grand opening” was ‘n tipiese koue en nat dag in Harrismth, maar het nie verhoed dat mense in hulle hondertalle opdaag by die ultra-moderne tak van VKB nie. Die tak het met hulle amptelike opening verskeie spesiale openings-winskope aangebied, van ‘n kamp-stoel tot ‘n sweismasjien, ‘n Jo-Jo tenk tot ‘n draadtang. Die dag is gevul met die opwindende klanke van die nommer een kommersiële radiostasie in die Vrystaat, OFM, wat ‘n regstreekse uitsending vanaf die perseel behartig het. Jonk en oud kon ook die gratis kepse, gelukkige – prystrekkings en uitstallings van groot handellsname geniet. Die nuwe tak van VKB se vriendelike personeel sal elke dag gereed staan om jou met kundigheid by te staan, met ware winskope en ‘n groter verskeidenheid.

As jy die opening gemis het, gaan kyk gerus. Hulle is geleë in Piet Retief Straat 10, Harrismith.
