Farmers oppose state vaccine controls & African fuel-supply hubs gain as ships reroute around the Cape

Stephen Grootes speaks to Francois Rossouw, CEO Of the Southern African Agricultural Initiative and John Steenhuisen, Minister of Agriculture, about the growing legal battle in which farmers argue that strict state-controlled vaccine rules are delaying South Africa’s foot-and-mouth disease response, threatening livestock, livelihoods, and the wider agricultural economy.

In other interviews, Timothy Walker, Senior researcher on maritime security at the ISS talks about the shifting dynamics in global shipping, as vessels increasingly reroute around the Cape of Good Hope amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The diversion of traffic away from traditional routes like the Suez Canal is driving increased activity along Africa’s coastline, positioning the region as a growing bunkering hub, while also highlighting the opportunities and constraints shaping South Africa’s role in this evolving maritime trade landscape.
