Following veld fires which tore through approximately 34 000 hectares of the Free State’s farming community FAW delivered livestock to the Free State Agriculture and Harrismith Disaster Fund.

Mike Johnson, Dealer Development Manager at FAW Vehicle Manufacturers SA, says, “There are more FAW owners, per capita, in the Harrismith area than in any other municipal district.”

So it was without hesitation that when the owners of FAW Harrismith, Juan and Minitsa Wiggill, called Johnson and asked for help, he made it happen.

Johnson adds, “We needed to know how best we could assist. Helping to keep the affected animals alive was a sensible, manageable, and vital option.”

FAW SA purchased a large load of livestock feed and delivered it to Harrismith on a FAW 28.380 FT truck tractor.
