A major milestone in South Africa’s agricultural and industrial transformation is unfolding as Deputy Minister Nokuzola Capa and Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition Zuko Godlimpi recognise 33 black-owned poultry businesses from all nine provinces at the Poultry Masterplan Executive Oversight Committee meeting in Bronkhorstspruit. The gathering highlights the growing impact of the Poultry Masterplan in reshaping participation within one of the country’s most important food production sectors. The event brings together entrepreneurs who operate across different parts of the poultry value chain, showing how coordinated policy support can unlock real economic participation. It also reflects government efforts to build an inclusive agricultural economy that supports both production and industrial growth. The recognition of these businesses signals a shift toward stronger transformation and long term sustainability in the sector.
