Empowering SA's emerging farmers: The story of Ncebe Jakavule

JOHANNESBURG — It's not often that one hears the stories of emerging farmers in South Africa and the challenges they go through. Amid noise around land reform and the politics that go with it, it's these voices that get lost in the cacophony. So, it was an interesting opportunity to chat with Ncebe Jakavule, a chicken farmer in King William's Town, in the Eastern Cape. Jakavule recently benefited from financial training from Santam and is busy trying to acquire a farm in the region with the help of government. - Gareth van Zyl
