Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and RuralDevelopment
What total number of farmers received loans with the backing of the R200billion guarantee scheme announced by the President of the Republic, Mr M C Ramaphosa, to fight the effects of Covid-19?
Reply:
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development does not grant loans to farmers and is therefore unaware which farmers received loans from the said amount.
