Theoretical framework
Modernisation theory
Yeh (1989 (#CIT0032_350) ) noted that
modernisation theory emerged in the late 1950s
and early 1960s from America’s new position of
international domination and the need to solve
the problems of underdeveloped countries.
According to Joshi (2005 (#CIT0014_350) ),
modernisation theory posits that Third World
countries are underdeveloped because of their
historical failure to change and adopt new
technology. The claim attributes that the Third
World was left behind by the First World and
that it must catch up through adopting the
same measures undertaken by the First World
countries. The modernisation theory reveals
that primitive, anti-productive methods and
social practices must be eliminated in order for
the developing countries to change and
develop. In addition, problems such as poverty,
war, famine, economic stagnation and the
failure to catch up with the First World
technologically impede development.

‘Modernization is a complex process involving
changes in all areas of human mind and
movement’. Furthermore, Eisenstadt (1966:43;
in Tipps 1973 (#CIT0025_350) ) argued that:
modernization is characterized by
two features, which are one, a
HOME type of change (structural
(HTTPS://JAMBA.ORG.ZA) differentiation) and the other a

Methodology

(HTTPS://JAMBA.ORG.ZA/INDEX
Design
This study employed an exploratory design and
Search this journal a qualitative method. Exploratory design is one
of the most useful (and appropriate) research
designs for projects that address a subject
about which there are high levels of uncertainty
and ignorance as well as when the problem is
not very well understood (Bryman 2012
(#CIT0004_350) ).
Sampling
Snowball sampling
Snowball sampling is a non-probability sampling
method that involves data sources nominating
other potential data sources to be used in the
research. Hence, it is a method based on
referrals from initial subjects to generate
additional subjects (Bryman 2012
(#CIT0004_350) ). For the current study, the
researchers employed snowball sampling in
selecting relevant sources which would lead
them to other research work on the same field
through keywords and reference lists.
Data analysis
The researcher employed discourse analysis. It
refers to the practises of talking and writing
(Woodilla 1998 (#CIT0028_350) ), which
brings text into being through the production,
dissemination and consumption of text.
Therefore, the goal of discourse analysis is to
explore the relationship between discourse and
reality as well as interpretation of hidden
meaning (Bondarouk & Ruel 2004
(#CIT0002_350) ). The researcher analysed the
data collected from the Internet, databases,
newspapers, journal articles and books. In so
doing, the relationship between discourses, that
is, other authors’ findings on climate change in
South Africa and reality pertaining to climate
change as a threat to achieving SDGs was
established.
Recommendations
Achieving SDG 2 would mean that the South
African government needs to take into
consideration certain pertinent aspects. These
include forging progressive agricultural policies
that are vehemently inclusive as well as
ensuring that all people are aware of climate
change and its effects as well as adaptation
methods.
Climate-smart policies
The government through the ministry of
agriculture should develop climate-smart
agriculture policies in order to enhance small
holder farmers’ adaptation to climate change.
