Armed with a diploma in agricultural science from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mkhize, 29, is putting her scientific and practical knowledge into practice. She completed her practical training at an established farm, Limiet Rivier, where she learnt how to run a business.
Mkhize is on an upward trajectory, after starting out in 2019 with 500 broilers and 300 layers in the backyard of her home in Siyabuswa township. She says within a few months she formalised her business and registered it as Lungile Poultry Farm with the vision of applying her academic knowledge to create employment for others.However, starting from scratch was not easy and her parents sacrificed their pension fund to purchase the equipment, worth R380,000, that she needed to start the farm.
