The Eastern Cape’s position as the global epicentre of mohair production took centre stage as SAMIL Natural Fibres unveiled a R21 million state-of-the-art carding machine at the SAMIL Border Combing Plant in Ntabozuko. The investment represents more than technological advancement; it reflects a strategic commitment to value-addition, rural industrialisation, and inclusive economic participation. By boosting processing capacity in the province that produces the majority of the world’s mohair, the Eastern Cape continues to uphold its status as a leading agricultural producer and a globally competitive hub for specialised textile processing.
