Agri SA calls for investigation as non-payment of locust officers undermines food security

Agri SA has written to Minister Thoko Didiza requesting an investigation into the non-payment of critical service providers in midst of the worst locust outbreak of the past 25 years. If no action is taken, government could lose the services of vital locust officers even as millions of hectares of crops remain in danger of extensive damage as a result of the ongoing crisis.
