Want to join the ranks of the country’s most influential women farmers and agripreneurs? Be sure to book your seat for Soul To Soil, Food For Mzansi’s upcoming Women’s Day brunch. Set to take place on Wednesday, 9 August 2023, at Irene Farm in Centurion, this event promises a morning of inspiration, networking, and celebration.
The event will celebrate the women in agriculture who have cultivated change, broken barriers, and continue to sow seeds of progress in what is traditionally a man’s world, marking their strength, resilience, and innovation.
Leading the charge will be keynote speaker Zandile Kumalo, an urban farming sensation who transformed a parking lot into an inner-city farm. Her farm, located on the rooftop of a bustling Pretoria shopping mall, has not only greened the cityscape but also captured the imagination of the entire nation.
