THE FUSE

Calab Baloyi is an entrepreneur from Orange Farm in Johannesburg who turned adversity into opportunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. After losing his corporate sales job, he faced financial strain and was forced to move back home. Instead of giving up, he looked for practical ways to build a sustainable livelihood. Inspired by his township upbringing and his mother’s small garden, he decided to enter farming. This decision marked the beginning of his journey into sunflower production and food processing.
