Growing with hope

Rethabile Ngwenya, founder of Reaobokwe Agribusiness, is a young visionary using township farming not just to grow food - but to grow futures.

Based in Potchefstroom, she transforms township land into thriving gardens and learning spaces.

Through her self-started Boys and Girls Club, she teaches local kids how to plant, grow, and understand the power of food - instilling life skills, confidence, and hope in the process.

She knows you only gain independence through hard work. Her roots are in Jouberton where she grew up. Her farming journey begain in 2021 when she created a vegetable garden in the township and set up a small stall to sell fruit and vegetables to the community. Slowly but surely, her savings grew, allowing her to expand her farming efforts.
