Emmanuel Mudau, a self-taught sheep and goat breeder from Venda, Limpopo, transformed a small investment into a flourishing agricultural business. His farming journey began in 2009 when he resigned from his job as a sales representative at a furniture shop to follow his passion for agriculture. Using his pension funds, he purchased three goats from a local farmer, marking the modest start of what would become a successful livestock enterprise. In 2010, he expanded his herd with ten Damara sheep, laying the foundation for future growth and diversification. Through dedication, continuous learning, and hard work, Emmanuel grew his livestock into hundreds of top-quality animals, including his own breed, Mathuba Genetics.
