AGRICULTURE NEWS - In March, Mabandla and AfriForum signed a mutual recognition and co-operation agreement, and this veld goat agricultural development project with an expected duration of six years, was a direct result thereof, Mabandla told Farmer’s Weekly.
The goats were delivered to Mabandla’s farm, Mncetyan, by Gerhard Lourens, a commercial goat breeder and owner of the LGL Indigenous Veld Goat Skilder Stud.
Lourens also provided practical training to Mabandla’s team and members of the community on the day.
“The chief provides the land and the day-to-day management and labour, AfriForum provides funding, and SAAI provides the agricultural advice and mentorship also through its network partner, LGL Indigenous Veld Goat Skilder Stud.”
