Farmers say food insecurity will remain a challenge unless farming skills are passed on...

More than 200 learners from surrounding schools attended a livestock and grain crops farming expo at Qhamani farm, where they learned about the importance of farming tools, fertilisers, soil sampling, testing, and production processes.

“We feel that the little knowledge on how to handle this abundant soil has to be shared with the upcoming generations so that they may find better ways of doing what we are doing.” “It definitely is. Let’s look at our economy, most farms are actually or rather owned by white people. And I think it is about time as black people we connect to our roots because this is where we come from. This is what we grew up to in the rural areas. We are told to go and look after the livestock and so forth. So, I really think let’s come back to this because it has money,” Mphongoma added.
