I grew up in the rural areas in the Eastern Cape Cofimvaba with both parents and five siblings. I grew up exposed to farming, but my family was not into farming.

I’m the first farmer in my family and that has also inspired my mother to start farming in the Eastern Cape.Because I had responsibilities at home, I had to look for a way for me to generate income again; that is how we entrepreneurs think and operate. Instead of looking at the problem, we find a solution to the problem. I believe if you have a strong ‘why,’ it is impossible for you to give up because you’re what keep you going.

My dream is to get a bigger farm so that I can farm commercially, supply spinach all over South Africa and other countries, while creating employment opportunities for people.I don’t have an irrigation system; I’m using watering cans. I also don’t have enough land to produce as much as I would like to produce to meet the demand of the community. There is a major challenge with lack of transportation for deliveries as well.
