A black farmer says banks rejected his funding requests, but his Afrikaner neighbours stepped in to help him keep his farm going. 🌾

Black commercial farmer David Lupafya, who farms outside Potchefstroom, has shared an emotional story about how his Afrikaner neighbours helped him when he struggled to secure funding for his farming operation.

After working in the United States in the technology sector, including at companies such as AT&T, Microsoft and Lockheed Martin, Lupafya returned to South Africa to pursue farming.

When he needed money for seeds, fertiliser, diesel and other production costs, he struggled to access the financing he needed from commercial banks.

He then approached his Afrikaner neighbour, JP Meintjies, who offered to supply the farming inputs and provide machinery for harvesting. They agreed to settle the costs from the proceeds of the harvest, with the remaining money going to Lupafya as profit.

The agreement was based on a handshake and trust.

Lupafya also described how neighbouring farmers helped him with water, diesel, equipment repairs and financial guidance over several farming seasons.

He became emotional while recounting these experiences, showing how cooperation and mutual support between black and white farmers can make a difference despite the racial and political divisions often seen in public debates.

"Before the Fall" (My latest painting).

There are 9 species of baobabs (Adansonia) in the world.
Madagascar is the global diversity hotspot for baobabs, and 6 of the 9 species are endemic to the island. Australia has1 species (Adansonia gregorii, commonly known as the boab or Australian baobab) that is native to the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia, and then Mainland Africa actually has two species:Adansonia digitata (the classic African baobab or "Tree of Life"), and Adansonia kilima (the Montane African baobab, found in high-elevation and upland areas of eastern and southern Africa), but it is Adonsonia digitata, found across the semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa that must be one of the most iconic trees in Africa.

My painting is of a massive baobab tree that stood near the Pafuri picnic site along the winding road leading down into the Luvuvhu River.
In the case of this tree, consensus among wildlife sources, agree that the tree's fall was primarily driven by elephant damage, as elephants had heavily stripped the bark and virtually hollowed out the lower section of the trunk closest to the road.

Worryingly though, some of Africa’s oldest and biggest baobab trees have abruptly died, wholly or in part, in the past twenty years.
Between 2005 and 2017, researchers probed and dated “practically all known very large and potentially old” African baobabs – more than 60 individuals in all. Collating data on girth, height, wood volume and age, they noted the “unexpected and intriguing fact” that most of the very oldest and biggest trees died during the study period. All were in southern Africa – Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, and Zambia. Nine of the 13 oldest … individuals have died, or at least their oldest parts/stems have collapsed and died, over the study period.

(A couple of months ago I did a very small (A5), painting of the same tree. I've wanted to paint this specific tree again, but this time I went a bid bigger - This painting is 40cm x 50cm. Mixed media, acrylic and oils).
