Greetings Mzansi!

As we wrap up Heritage Month, we get straight into yet another exciting month full of agriculture-related activities.

We start our week with two livestock auctions, then move to the Winelands where South Africa Wine will host an information day.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
