Fish farmer swims upstream thanks to government funding
Kenalemang Thekiso is thrilled to have received funding from the government to expand his aquaculture project.
The North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (NWDARD) armed Thekiso Aquaculture Project with R1.6 million worth of equipment that boasts seven ponds, a state-of-the-art solar system, and feed to cultivate Nile tilapia fish.
The fish operation is run on a 1 000-hectare community property association land.
