Mahlangu fights poverty through farming

He encourages young people, especially in rural areas, to start farming now so that they can grow up learning the tricks of running a successful farm.

“You can start planting vegetables in the backyard of your home to avoid buying vegetables from the shops,” he says. He says his family bought about three hectares of land and in 2014, started fencing the farm. He says they only started working the land two years ago. After matric, Mahlangu enrolled for a National Diploma in Crop Production at the Tshwane University of Technology. While he is still in the process of completing his qualification, he says his education has only increased his passion for farming.

Recently, Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Thoko Didiza handed over agricultural equipment and other goods to members of Sokhulumi Agri-park’s Farmer Production Support Unit.

He need more land. Vote EFF for more farming land. More native farmers. More food. More jobs.
