MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Madoda Sambatha, accompanied by NWAFASA, officially launched Lolo Moeketsi’s Beekeeping Project in Zeerust.

This exciting initiative, under Mompati Projects Honey Products, represents a strong commitment to supporting emerging farmers while strengthening the honey and beekeeping value chain in the North West.

The launch is not only about producing honey—it is about empowering communities. It plays a vital role in:

• Promoting sustainable farming practices that protect the environment and preserve biodiversity.
• Driving job creation, with a focus on local economic development.
• Opening opportunities for youth and women to actively participate in the agricultural sector.
• Building resilience and inclusivity within the province’s agricultural value chains.

MEC Sambatha highlighted the importance of such initiatives in transforming rural economies and positioning agriculture as a driver of growth and food security.

NWAFASA remains committed to walking alongside emerging farmers like Lolo Moeketsi, ensuring they are equipped with the resources, skills, and networks needed to thrive.

Together, we are cultivating a sustainable future—one hive at a time. 🐝✨
