Dear Vuk’uzenzele
My name is Makhosini Manana
I am interested in starting a rabbit farming project.
I recently learnt about the benefits of rabbit farming and I have developed a love for it.
May you please assist me with more information about how I can put my dreams into action.
Warm regards
Makhosini Manana

Over the last few years, South Africans have had to contend with slow growth and rising unemployment.
This has been worsened by a devastating pandemic, an attempted insurrection unrest in July 2021, and, earlier this year, severe floods in parts of KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and North West.
With South Africa observing World Aids Day on the 1st of December, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health has advised HIV positive mothers to consider breastfeeding their babies exclusively for six months.
According to the department, if you are an HIV positive breastfeeding mother, it is important to discuss feeding choices with your HIV counsellor.
If you choose to breastfeed, be sure to breastfeed exclusively for the first six months.
