Mutual & Federal: Tswelopele Project

Subsistence and small scale farming can help alleviate poverty and create employment. The Tswelopele project is funded by the insurer Mutual & Federal and is the first agricultural socio-economic development project of this nature undertaken by the company. This three-year investment was established on land donated by the Bekker Agricultural Boarding School with the aim of providing additional employment and fresh produce to the dependents of their staff members. "IT'S AFRICA'S TIME" visits the farm to see how the project has been implemented and to learn about its social and commercial plans for the future.
