If you asked Lusanda Moletsane 15 years ago if she would consider a career in agriculture or farming, her answer would have been a definite"no".

Established 16 years ago, Khumo Ea Tsebo used to specialise in implementing turnaround solutions for manufacturing businesses that were not doing well. In 2007, the business was contracted to turnaround farms, in various parts of the country, that were not doing well. Tiger Brands' agriculture aggregator model is aimed at uplifting small-scale farmers and ensuring economic development.

Tiger Brands supported Khumo Ea Tsebo with about R10m, which included a low-interest loan, technical support funding for inputs, mechanisation, diesel, harvesting and funds to pay labourers.For this project, Moletsane’s business is operating from two farming clusters – in Nigel in Sedibeng, and Bronkhorstspruit near Tshwane.
