"My name is Sihle Maseko (29). I am a farmer ๐ง๐พโ๐พ ๐ฅฌ ๐ฝ from Burnshill Location, Keiskammahoek (Qoboqobo). I have a diploma in Agricultural Management ๐ ๐จ๐พโ๐, which I obtained in 2019 at NMU (George Campus ๐ซ). I started farming in 2020, helping my uncle on his 2 ha, then went solo in 2021. Now I am farming on a 10-hectare plot, growing green mealies (SC 701โ5 ha) ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฝ and 45 000 cabbages (staggered at 15K monthly intervals)๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ.
What inspired me to get into farming?
We are living in very difficult times where the chances of getting employed are scarce๐ฅน. Even after completing my studies, I applied for jobs countless times in both the government and private sectors, and I got rejected so many times. Yes, it was stressful at times ๐ฉ, but then I remembered that there is enough land at home (the challenge was startup capital ๐ฐ) to afford an irrigation system.
I also had no background in farming because I never had any interest in being a primary producer๐ง๐พโ๐พ; I only wanted to be a forensic pathologist. I then tried to raise funds ๐ฐand started on 1 ha with green mealies ๐ฝ, then grew from there.
To young bloods, I want to say, "Get up!" Utyulube, make it happen๐ซถ๐ฝ; no one is going to do it for you; take the risks; go get that loan; do something to get started. Fukuza marn! There is no miracle bhuti, nothing will work unless you do. I did taxis mna and borrowed money from banks with no luck, but I made sure ukuba ndiyaqala๐ฅ๐ฏ.
Currently, I am selling about 10โ15 thousand cabbages ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ every month since July 2022 to both the formal and informal markets.
