Innovator turns rooftop into a veggie garden

Harvesting underutilised urban spaces for sustenance

Commercial female farmer Zandile Kumalo has won the prestigious Agrivuno Award 2025 for her role in running hydroponic farms.

The visionary Kumalo owns two impactful agribusinesses: HyHarvest and Neighbour Roots. Through her innovative farms, she transforms underutilised urban spaces into productive green hubs supplying fresh, local produce.

Starting with a 2000m² backyard, Zandile now leads in climate-smart, circular farming, and her work has been recognised nationally.

“We grow, harvest and distribute premium-quality vegetables to restaurants and retail markets across urban centres. We operate two innovative climate-smart hydroponic farms, one strategically located on the rooftop of Morningside Shopping Centre and the other at Riversquare Shopping Centre.
