THE FUSE

The North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, together with Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality and Mamusa Local Municipality, successfully hosted the first Mamusa Farmers Market of 2026. The market provided a platform for local farmers to sell fresh produce directly to consumers, strengthening farmer incomes while offering affordable, high-quality food to the community. Farmers reported strong interest from shoppers, especially social grant beneficiaries, who appreciated the opportunity to access fresh vegetables, fruits, and other farm products at reasonable prices.
