Co-founder of the Amara Neema AgriTech Group (ANAT), Simphiwe Kahla, says he and his partners, Faith Tlaletsi and Sabata Segoba, decided to join forces because they were always passionate about farming. Their passion became a reality after they attended an auction by the Sernick Group after which ANAT was born and became part of Sernick’s  Emerging Farmer Programme.

Kahla says ANAT still has to acquire land, but they now focus on gaining experience in the industry. The entity focuses on farming with livestock, which includes piggeries, as well as crops and cannabis. He says they decided to host an indaba to allow all stakeholders in the industry, including young people and women, to come together to discuss issues in the farming industry and engage in some networking.
