Drive to create sustainable cannabis industry in SA continues

The drive to create a sustainable cannabis and hemp growing industry in South Africa continues. This after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the intention to regulate and kickstart this industry last year in his State of the Nation address. Small-scale cannabis growers in the rural areas of Eastern Cape want an inclusive and comprehensive cannabis commercialization strategy. They want indigenous cannabis growers that were previously prosecuted for farming and trading with the plant to be prioritized.
The influx of foreign entities as potential investors is also a bone of contention.

    Nah, they’ll only open opportunities for Whites and foreigners. For example you need to have R7.5M to be an accredited supplier there by cutting out Black people especially rural Black people. This is just a PR exercise. Foreigners are exporting Cannibis with impunity, just try to do that as a poor Black South African and the law will be on to you
