CAPE TOWN - Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen has slammed Sakeliga for what he called several inaccuracies made by the business interest group about his tenure as the agriculture minister.
Sakeliga, who are a former affiliate of AfriForum, claimed that Steenhuisen is expanding BEE in the agriculture sector by establishing transformation funds for small-scale farmers.
