Stop spraying cancer-causing, environment-destroying toxic chemicals

THIS is a plea to farmers to stop spraying toxic chemicals, which are not only contaminating the air we breathe and the food we eat, but also the very small amount of water we have left, including our groundwater.

Why can’t the farmers see the enormous environmental damage that has been unfolding for decades?

Pesticides are carcinogenic, and they are being continually poured into the atmosphere.

Please visit Waterkloof Wine estate in Somerset West. It is a fine example of a successful organic farm. VANESSA TURNER STELLENBOSCH
