Nhlanhla Phillips African News Agency JOURNALIST Nonkululeko Britton-Masekela founded Kula Organic Produce.Agri-tech entrepreneur and chief executive of Livestock Wealth Ntuthuko Shezi.

When the trio started their urban farm, families and friends were concerned as the decision involved quitting their jobs and downscaling their lifestyles in pursuit of a dream. Journalist and radio producer Nonkuleko Britton-Masekela, 35, writes a blog when she’s not involved with organic farming. “Farming came naturally to me. When I met permaculture farmer Amon Maluleke, he evoked my love for farming and taught me the methodology that doesn’t use pesticides.

“I am currently expanding on the herbs and freerange eggs as part of the business. The plan is to acquire more land to scale up organic farming.” The venture has more than 2000 cattle on several farms in different parts of the country and around 1000 investors. Shezi said his entreprise is worth R100million and supplies Woolworths with free range beef.
