"We are concerned about the erosion of producer viability and the continual diminishing milk supply base," said Mandiwanza.

In other words, the dairymen are not sure that they will be able to milk their cows tomorrow morning.

Ir even that they will have cows tomorrow morning.

Or even that the veldt will not have been set ablaze overnight.

Or even that they will have a home tomorrow morning.

For sure, they will have nothing to feed to the cows this winter (if the poachers have left any behind).

Many of the herds have been left unattended because the "veterans" refused to allow farmers to tend to them.
Disease, starvation, theft and butchery have culled the herds. Could they have possibly done more damage if this had been planned?
