Simphiwe Fani, 42, and his older brother Linda, 55, trace their love of farming back to childhood, growing up herding their father’s livestock. That early experience shaped Simphiwe’s future and eventually led him to leave a secure career as a police officer to pursue farming full time. In 2013, after a five-year application process, the brothers secured a 30-year lease on a 4 560-hectare farm through the Land Reform Programme, establishing a successful family joint venture.
