THE FUSE

Agricultural development received a significant boost when Nonceba Kontsiwe officially handed over a brand new tractor to former mineworker Mncedisi Ngcephe of the Makarabha mixed farming project. The handover marks an important step in supporting emerging farmers and strengthening local food production. For Mr Ngcephe, the new tractor represents more than just equipment. It reflects recognition of his dedication to farming after transitioning from the mining sector to agriculture. The support also demonstrates the government’s continued effort to empower rural farmers and improve productivity in small and medium scale farming operations.
