Former Isibaya star goes back to her roots with farming

opened its doors to her and the starlet launched her career in front of the camera.“I’m grateful for my parents that they can always catch me when I fall. The conversation I had with them was that this is a big lesson and if anything should happen to them, who is going to catch me? That’s when I got a wake up,” she said.

Raised by her grandfather Phineas Sibisi, who averaged a herd size of 300 cows, Qwabe returned to her roots. Around June she started a vegetable farm in Umzimkhulu, southern KZN. She currently employs 10 workers. After months of research, at the end of October, she started with the seeding process. Her initial plan was to grow cabbages and spinach.

While she’s now getting ready to harvest the cabbages later this month or early next month, unfortunately the spinach couldn’t withstand the dry weather conditions. Involve a lot of experienced farmers and learn as much as you can from them. It’s going to be challenging in the beginning, but having a mentor will help.
