Amandla Power Agri Project

The Amandla Power Agri Piggery Farm propose to expand the piggery and build a sludge dam within Jachtdrift Farm in Paulpietersburg, KwaZulu-Natal.
The current piggery houses 17 sows and 53 growers. This makes the total of 70 pigs excluding weaners (piglets).

The farmer proposed to add 50 sows and 2 (two) boars to an existing stock. Given, the addition of 50 sows and 2 (two) boars, the Amandla Power Agri will be estimated to have 500 pigs or more with inclusion of growers. Therefore, the farm will exceed the threshold of 250 pigs.

Currently the farm has 3 (three) pigsties: 1 (one) currently in use is (39mX10m) in size; 2 (two) existing pigsties not in use are sized (25mX8m) and (26mX8m). Therefore, to complement this farming operation the farmer will add 8 (eight) more pigsty of (42Mx10) each in size. Also, build 90m3 sludge dam to temporary store the sludge from the pigsties.

Other existing farm infrastructure are: Farmworkers' house; Back-up Generator; Borehole and 2 (two) elevated jojo tanks, each with a capacity of 5250L.
