Young farmer turns passion into profit

In the lush landscapes of Tsolo, Eastern Cape,  Nceba Mkuyana's farming journey depicts a journey of perseverance and passion. 
Born and raised in the village of Mjika Mqobiso, Mkuyana's journey into agriculture began at the age of nine, encouraged by the guidance of his late father.

I used to help my father when he was busy in the garden. He taught me how to farm on communal land and how to maintain my plants,” Mkuyana said.

Improving life through jewellery making

In 2010, Tshepo Mangoale acted on his vision to open his own jewellery company called Thabelang Jewellers cc.

This after he noticed a shortage in jewellery stores selling their own products in Limpopo. He seized the opportunity to become a jewellery manufacturer.

The 39-year-old’s journey began in 2006 when he enroled for a year-long jewellery programme at the Imfundiso Skills Development (ISD) in Cullinan, Gauteng.

Leading in plant-based yoghurt

After seeing his late mother struggling with health issues, Andile Sasanti was prompted to explore healthier lifestyle options for her. This led to the development of a vegetable-infused yoghurt.

Positioned as a lifestyle brand,  WELL N WELL embodies innovation and vibrancy,  setting trends in the plant-based sector.

Plant-based eating patterns focus on foods primarily from plants.

Keeping pesty insects at bay

Poo once held the title of hotel manager and struggled to solve the problem of finding an effective insect repellent for the establishment.

The entrepreneur bug bit Poo and she decided to create her own insect repellent.
