Yes that is true...but at the end, it is not safe to eat an animal that has died by itself. For all we know, in addition to the cold, it was carrying a lot of stuff in it that contributed to the death.(autopsy will tell the true figure).

Then you shouldn't have any problems answering the questions.

1. When you say "severe poverty", what do you mean? Is that your personal experience?

2. You can speak for yourself if you are in "severe poverty" here or is that how you collect dead chickens from poultry farmers here in Nigeria so as not to waste protein?

South Africa usually have 24/7 electricity. What happened was an anomaly.

Is there something wrong with the black race Since the blacks took over this country has been deteriorating slowly

No probs, keep waiting for the answer while I seek ways to plead for the dead chickens to be brought here after autopsy.

Eskis sir.
SA having 24/7 power is a lie from the pit of hell. Now, most parts of SA have been on load shedding at least from the middle of last year. That is being modest.

I hope you would not argue further.

Some Nigerians sha Someone posted this picture on a group on facebook yesterday claiming their oga ask them to look for buyers otherwise no December and January salary for them.

This is collateral damage, I guess this wouldn't have happened in Nigeria, because we already knows we don't have stable light, so having a generator set is sure... Sorry to the owner of the farm

Brother, you are thinking like an average Nigeria.

Have you been to South Africa to see what is obtainable there in terms of electricity?

kernniejay:
That is a huge loss mehn! Such a massive poultry farm is supposed to have a stand-by generator or other alternative backup that is always ready to take over in case of an unexpected power outage.

CheapHomes1:


This is how some of you make a fool of yourselves. Even here in Nigeria, where have you seen aboki using dead chicken for suya?

You can't see generator to buy. I traveled abroad, went to one of the biggest malls, saw cars and bikes for sale, but no generators.

A poultry farmer in the North West Province of South Africa says he is planning to put in a 1.5 million rand (40.5 million naira) claim against the electricity provider Eskom after power disruptions at his farm killed an estimated 40 000 to 50 000 of his flock.

Herman du Preez, owner of the Frangipani Boerdery in Lichtenburg, told News24 on Thursday that it was difficult to know the exact death toll, as chickens were still dying.

Problems began in mid-December when problems with a transformer prompted Eskom to connect the area to another line, he said, but there had been variations in the voltage that damaged equipment such as pumps and motors.

Problems came to a head on Monday night, when insufficient voltage resulted in the air conditioning at one of the farm's chicken houses to shut down, he said. The farm has about 550 000 chickens.

"I'm busy with my homework. I'm waiting for reports from my electrician," said Du Preez. Eskom technicians had visited the farm on Wednesday in order to turn up the voltage, said Du Preez, but he added that he was now concerned about a surge if Eskom ultimately restores the area's transformer.

"So that's the next disaster that's going to happen," he said.

The continuation of Stage 6 load shedding (planned powercuts) in 2023 has sparked fears that disruptions in the agricultural supply chain could push up already elevated food prices and even result in shortages. 🔚

Is SA part of the abroad you are talking about?

Government is planning to launch a procurement process for 3 000MW of gas-fired energy generation.
The National Energy Crisis Committee has recommended that government procure 9 500MW of new capacity by 2024.
Some of the new capacity will be procured on an emergency basis.
