Major setback for Boere in Nood

A serious setback has hit the 'Boere in Nood' group, that are helping drought struck farmers across South Africa, after a truck and trailers carrying bales to farmers, caught on fire between Theunissen and Brandfort. Fortunately, none of the drivers were injured.

Nico Gerber, co-founder of Boere in Nood, told that the cause of the fire was still unknown. “These things happen and only after full forensic investigation by the police will we know what truly happened,” said Gerber.

Since its establishment in November 2015, Boere in Nood has helped 450 farmers across South Africa to date. The group has recently entered into a co-operation agreement with TAU SA and Afriforum.
