Farms were burnt in Alma, Limpopo on 13 August 2019. They were burnt as the community protested about a cell tower that collapsed. The police claimed to have the situation under control. The protestors are also angry as they claim the school’s land should belong to them. Then they went ahead and burnt some of that too!

The farmers lost between 5000 and 6000 hectares of grazing veld and about 5000 round bales of feed. It was reported on social media that on 14 August 2019, that all is in Alma now but there are still lots of rocks and trees in roads.
